I went to Vac and Sew this morning and I was right. The bobbin case was scratched up and had holes in it, just like I thought. The thread kept getting caught in the bobbin and caused a bird’s nest mess, the needle would break and then scratch or punch a hole in the case. I had a similar problem with my Brother machine a few years ago. It was an easy fix, $22. for a new case as opposed to having it stay in for a spa day. Wow, the prices on that have gone up!!
Just a reminder that if your needle keeps breaking, it’s most likely that the bobbin case has needle strikes, holes or shaved off sections on it. It’s easy to check and cheaper to replace. Take it in and have it checked.
Now, I will be working on my sewing for 2 weeks while waiting for it to come in.

Hello and welcome to my website!
My name is Donna. My hubby and I are retired. We have twin daughters and are blessed with 4 grandchildren. We are owned by a cat, Purrl. who loves to supervise and is very nosy.
I have been quilting since 1996. In addition to making quilts for my family and friends, I also make charity quilts for Marjoree Mason Center and Valley Children's Hospital. Marjoree Mason Center is a local organization here that helps and supports battered and abused women and children get out of abusive relationships. Every Christmas I make several baby quilts for the women, with a small stuffed animal or toy.
I also belong to the San Joaquin Valley Quilters' Guild here in Fresno. Since I retired, I have been trying to finish most of my UFOs, but my stash is way out of control! I have lately gotten into designing quilts and enjoy that even more than sewing them! I love colors of all types and consider myself to be a true scrappy quilter and I do love playing with designs.
I am the owner/moderator of Scrappy Quilters on Facebook, where we are very active with many mystery quilts, challenges and swaps. I welcome you to come by and check us out at https://www.facebook.com/groups/ScrappyQuilters.
Thank you for dropping by and I hope to see you again soon.
