1. Mailed the stash bee block off today. Even though it was sent to Canada, the postage was only $1.36! I forgot to ask about tracking, I had asked when mailing blocks to Germany and it wasn't available so perhaps it isn't an option for Canada... She will receive within 5 to 7 days.
2. I treated myself to a new pressure foot for the new sewing machine. It's great.
- Quarter inch piecing foot with blade for seam sewing
- Accurate reference marking on 3 sides of foot for visibility and accuracy
- Single hole foot prevents fabrics from sinking into feed dogs
- Genuine Brother Made Accessory
- For all 7mm feed dog machines
The other foot that I had was made of plastic and broke even though I put it in a little bag between using it.
This one is better as it has a little guide to put the fabric up against.
I have one of those piecing feet, I just love it.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, it's been a long time since I have seen you! You were the first person to leave a comment I think when I posted when we were in Cambridge in 2013! I remembered your comment and looked just now to verify it was you! Hope all is going well. Will go to your blog to peek in and see what you are working on! Thanks for coming by!
DeleteI never get tracking on the bee blocks. I sent my block off today as well and it cost me about the same to mail it within Canada.
ReplyDeleteThought it would be less expensive for you this month! Oh well. Have you decided what your block will be yet? I'm going to sew up some sample blocks to see how they look... I'm July. Thanks for coming by Lisa!
DeleteIt does feel like a splurge to get a foot like that, but now I consider it an investment. I did buy a foot like that for my machine and it does make a difference.
ReplyDeleteIt's working out well. The foot that came with the Brother had the hole so I could zig zag - it's better to have the single hole I think... : )
