It is interesting though that in my community Senior center, I had to start a new group. There has been a traditionalist group program going on for 30 years. I joined but, after a year of strict rules, "hand quilting only" and seeing people turned away who wanted to be involved in a group to encourage creativity and companionship, decided to start a group of my own where everyone is welcome. <br /> Needless to say my new group is now larger than the "established 30 year group, ". Which contains mostly those in their late 70's to 90 yrs.<br />Maybe it's the " you can't teach an old dog new tricks." Many in my group are people in my own age bracket, who say, they tired of the dictatorship and lack of fun and growth in the older group. Quilting is quilting and for it to last there has to be growth. I hope All can learn from we baby boomers to be open and accepting, learn from each other and have fun creating. Just call me feeling in the middle, not a gen x, but not an " old biddie" either.

I had to purchase a new serger about 2 years ago after the one that had been here for years died. I've gotten so frustrated with the tensions that lately I've just been sending them to my mom who has all of the settings on her machine figured out. I've been sitting here looking at this new serger and getting upset about the fact I spent money on something that I can't even figure out how to use properly! I always knew it was a tension problem, but never knew which way was tighter/looser and how to determine which threads to tighten/loosen to get the right look on the extremely light weight fabric. Thank you a million times! Your explanations were simple and easy to follow!
