Winding Threads

I am like a whirlwind when I sew. Thread and pins are flying. My dogs know to stay out of the way when they hear the buzz of my machine. I have a lead foot when driving my car and I have to say that it is all systems go when I use my sewing machine. Put the pedal to the metal is my motto. I want to see the finished product. I attended a class today to learn about all the bells and whistles my new sewing machine has. I cannot wait to try them on my own time. I learned how to decorate with embroidery thread and ribbon. I plan to make some purses and try out these techniques. The fabric will be flying this afternoon!

I have to do a little cleaning before I sew. There are threads embedded into the area rug that sits under the table where I sew. I have to lug out my big vacuum and work at every thread to get them to surrender to the sucking of that machine. Or I use duct tape and get the threads picked up. The Dirt Devil AccuCharge would be so much more handy in my sewing area. It is Energy Star efficient and that means it isn’t using up valuable resources like my big vacuum does. I suppose I could go back to using duct tape to pick up all those threads and really save energy. I would rather have a cordless Dirt Devil AccuCharge vacuum. Besides, it is just so cute!
