My second paper piecing project is the pineapple. I got it on the frame and nearly halfway quilted when my machine starting giving me fits with the top thread breaking every few inches. I tried everything -- changed the needle, tried different threads, futzed with the tension, cleaned, oiled the machine. After several weeks, I gave up and took it in to the shop. Seems I've been so hard on the machine, it just needed a tune up. Works like a charm now! Next time, I won't wait so long or get so frustrated.
