Tomorrow, I have Teacher Round-Up at Ready to Sew Bernina from 1-4.  I’m teaching 3 classes during the winter quarter:

Lecture – Wednesday, February 4, 6:30 PM
Hands-on – Saturday, February 7, 10:00 – 1:00 PM

- Finishing Your Quilts: Saturday, March 21, 10:00 AM

I’m really excited about all of these classes.  The binding class (Finishing Your Quilts) is actually at the request of a number of my friends and students.  Ok, y’all…  get over there and sign up soon!  Space is limited because you’re actually going to bind a quilt during class.  It’s a fantastic method that makes for a high-quality, low-pain binding.

I have to get back to working on the sample for the yoga pants class.  I made it up according to the instructions and wore them for a few days.  Who thought that 3/8″ elastic is going to hold up a pair of knit pants?  I changed it to 1″ on the supply sheet for class but I haven’t changed the waistband on the sample, so I have to get working NOW if it’s going to be done by tomorrow.  Oh, and I haven’t finished my BOM for the $5 Quilt class at 11.  Bad!Deana…

Sorry, guys.  I got wrapped up in figuring out a couple things on Charm City and didn’t move this post from drafts to published….

Notice anything different?

That’s right!  Miss Lola has gone topless!

I’ve hurt myself a couple of times on the roller bar and have knocked the machine off its tracks more times than I can count.  After both my customers did it last week, I decided I was going to remove the bar completely.  I had kept in on in case I had a customer who rabidly wanted to pin their top.  But now that I know how easy it is to move, I don’t ever see that being a problem.

And may I just say, I LOVE NOT HAVING THAT BAR!

One downside: I can’t use it to roll myself along the front of the machine when I’m sitting down.  I have to actually move myself with my own two legs.  Oh, darn!
