Ok, not really.

It’s really just an aftermarket thread guide for the Hinterberg Voyager 17. You think for as much as they charge for the machine this wouldn’t be necessary. The recommended glue is hot glue. It doesn’t work very well since it has come off twice. Must find some stronger glue.

Maeve brought home a lovely bug from school and it’s making the rounds here leaving little time for sewing the past couple days.

Eek! I love this thing. Now to find some more interesting colors of thread to run through it.

I might do a real quilt tomorrow instead of clearance sheets from Target.

First, the reason why this machine was necessary:

That would be a 6″ throat on the Pfaff 2134 vs. 17″ throat on the Hinterberg Voyager 17. Beautious.

And then this:

Ohmygoodnes. So pretty. So lovely. So friggin’ huge! But I guess that is the point. Now to attach the leaders, clean up the rest of the room, oh, and figure out how to use it!

It’s rather ambitious but I think I can tackle it. My first listing to go up was a beautiful quilt that is very (very) similar to the wedding quilt I made with the same Shangri-la fabrics.

So tonight I’m sitting in front of the computer staring at the Etsy listing screen trying to figure out how to describe this quilt. I had no words so the listing ended up being a little silly.
