OH, SO GENTLE WITH THE BOBBIN, PLEASE!

This is REALLY IMPORTANT, ladies!  
Please train yourselves.  When removing the bobbin from the case (when it still has thread on it), it is imperative that you do not put any stress on the thread guide and/or the tension spring.  If you just yank the bobbin out, the thread will pull and the spring will bend and have to be replaced.  Carefully 'follow' the thread out of the thread guide with the bobbin, please.  If you have not been shown how to do this, please ask a trainer.

LOVING THIS MACHINE!

We know many of you have had the pleasure of trying out the machine, and 'isn't she beautiful'?!  It is so nice to see everyone enjoying our gorgeous facility.  
Thank you to all who have been coming out to our community sewing day on the 2nd Monday of each month.  We will be delivering 10 completed charity quilts to a Senior's home at the end of the month, and have many more quilt tops ready to be quilted. Please call a trainer (listed at the beginning of each week on the calendar) if you would like to come in and quilt one or two or more of these. Our next community sewing day will be held in October, and then every month thereafter.
We have previously asked you to book only one day at the beginning of the month and then another if days are available after the 15th, just to ensure that everyone gets a chance.  But if you open up the blog and see that today or tomorrow is open and you would like to go in, it is fine for you to book it.  We want to have the machine being well used! Please just call your trainer to be sure it is, in fact, open (someone else may have just called her and not put it on the calendar as of yet) and you are welcome to go in.  Again, please put in on the calendar so others see it is unavailable that day, AND call the trainer.
HAPPY SUMMER!
