Hi everyone,  I know I have been very, very, bad!  It has been too long since I have visited, and I still have yet to post a new member hello to everyone.  I start to write about myself, and it is either a novel or a sentence.  (It took me weeks to do my ebay About Me page)  Anyway, enuf about that....

I am trying out some new thread.  It matches my fur so closely that I cant see the stiches on my test strips good enuf to check the tension.  I was thinking that I could put some stabilizer sheets on top and bottom of the material.  But will I get an accurate stitch that way?

Oh, I just thought of another possibility!  Use a different color of the same kind of thread just to check, then rethread the machine with the matching thread?

Well, I needed to visit anyway!!!
and would still love to hear any other ways to see the stiches in fur.

Hi Linda! Nice to see you back! Don't stay gone so long!

Use a different color of the same kind of thread

That was exactly my thought when I read the title of your post! You got it, girl!
