His Old Tricks

DW has had a little quirk ever since I can remember. He'll lose electrical contact at random times while he's doing whatever; basting in, quilting, digital work. 

When he does this during a digital stitch out, he misaligns himself and then all is chaos. Unless you know what you're doing. 

Here's where he 'choked' yesterday...

Hardly even started

This occurred after I left and while Jim was here by himself. He didn't know DW did this (or forgot about it) and hasn't a clue how to realign the motif within the area he needs to quilt. 

Today's lesson is repositioning and getting things back on track. And this is reason #412 why you can't just press GO and expect instances like this not to occur if you don't keep an eye on things. This is reason #413 why I prefer to do custom; I'm in control and not some computer. 

I worked on my book pattern at retreat and will head back up there after lunch. I need to get Jim going again and I need to start the piece on Bernie this morning before heading off to play with my friends.
