Funny the lendrum was my first wheel and it was definitely not my wheel. I feel the same way about the Ladybug, but I love my Matchless, they are definitely nothing alike. When money is not so tight anymore, you might try a Hansen E spinner, I love mine and can spin on it even when my knees are unhappy! ;-) ;-) Yeah, so glad to see you spinning again!

I remember when you started having the wrist pain, and I'm so glad to hear that it's cleared up and you're able to knit and spin again.

I have done both, but usually pin baste. But the quilt i am doing now I pin basted ,is all triangles, and is not laying flat with the pins. I am quilting a curve on each side of the triangle, and now I wish I had spray basted. Try taking the top and backing outside for spray basting, that is what the teacher recommended. It really works well, minimizes the mess and cuts way down on the smell.

I tried spray basting last year and even though I had all the windows open and I was only spray basting a tiny space, it still gave me a headache pretty quickly. I don't mind the pins.

I just finished a cowl in the TFA green line yarn and I was pleasantly surprised by it, it's nice and bouncy and knit up nicely. I hope you enjoy the effortless cardigan.

Should be a fairly minor adjustment as long as it's not off because something is broken. Adjusting timing yourself can be pretty time consuming and frustrating, so if it was me, I'd take it in for a tune up (it should be included in your sewing machine servicing). I would definitely not take it to the store that quoted you several hundred dollars. I don't think it should be more than $100 including being fully adjusted and oiled. Good luck! Chrissy Hi Leslie,
