[Nfb-krafters-korner] want to know Wednesday

Thu Jan 26 12:16:02 UTC 2017

The pen friend labels have a sticky back.  She might be able to put them on index cards and store them with each spool of thread.  It all depends on how she stores thread.  I have seen cases where the thread stands upright, on pegs.  I do not think this would work in such a situation.  Those cases are nice, though.
NFB has some plastic tags, for food labeling, that you could put the pen friend label on, and they would hold up longer.  Also the label could be recorded over, when you bought a new color.
The big problem is how to store spools, with the labels on them, in a compact and accessable way!

Joyce,

I'm not sure what the pen friend labels are like but perhaps you could loop a rubber band through the spool and attach a label to that. You then find your bobbin or spool, take off the label and place it near your machine (maybe use a small sticky hook on the side of the machine) and then you know what color is in your machine and the label is not causing any problem with using the bobbin or spool.

I want to get good enough on my embroidery machine to be able to sell some of the things I want to make.  I actually will be taking the first general embroidery lesson that I have been waiting 6 months from the place I purchased the machine.  I am happy that I did express my frustration to Baby Lock Sewing Machine Company.  As Close to Home did give me a squirt of oil and 2 sit down one to one with an instructor and the Spirit embroidery machine.

I have gotten colors of thread and just this week started to label them with the Pen Friend, but not sure if that will work or not the best.  I have several different sizes of spools and not all have a good place to attach and touch the area with the pen.

I feel my embroidery is getting better as I learn what stabilizers I should use with each fabric type.  I still have a lot to learn.

I want to make myself a St. Patty's Day sweat shirt, but hesitant in giving it a try.

So once again it is, want to know Wednesday.  I planned on getting this out earlier in the day, but things got a little out of control around here.

Do you have certain projects, craft goals or completely new crafts on your bucket list?

If so what are they and have you taken any steps to accomplish them?

I think the responses on this should be a lot of fun.

Nella
