Bad Thread

First thing yesterday morning I loaded and then quilted this lovely piece...

Maggie's Tilda Quilt

This is getting an E2E with me driving...

An all over feather/swirl flower

I'm faster than the ProStitcher and I had some bobbins to use up. I knew if I threw the computer on it the bobbins would run out mid pass and lining up mid pass is a pain.

This quilt was done before a late lunch. After lunch I moved over to Millies Dresses on Bernie. I'll be working that most of today while I'm frame ironing the next back on DW.

Once I was done working on customer stuff I loaded this quilt onto Foster...

Cotton Cuts BOM from ???

I'm not sure when I made this top. It was a few years ago out of Kaffe fabric. I'm putting a lime green thread through it and I started with some Omni I've had for quite some time. 

What a nightmare. I hadn't even gotten through the first pass and I had constant thread breakage, shredding, wrapping around the needle, and horrible tension. I took it one preventative step at a time and still had the same issues. Once I changed out to Glide thread I didn't have one stinking issue.

Here's where the thread is now...

In the garbage

I hate throwing away thread. My threads aren't exposed to any sunlight or adverse temperature conditions. In fact, this thread is in a drawer under DW being protected from dust, sun, or extreme changes in temp, yet it went bad after 10 or so years. I'm tossing the rest of my Omni thread as well because they've all been around about that long and I'm not willing to use this in any further quilt. 

Not to mention this stuff is linty, linty, linty!

Mom may be over later today to assist with some "eye" work on an art piece I was hired to finish for a customer. Mom is the eye queen and she'll look over what I've chalked in and approve or correct as needed.

We have a weather event in the works out west and while Bernadette was scheduled to come and pick up her Tilda Sampler (and Millies Dresses if I get it done) tomorrow the weather may change that intention.
