Sewing 911, what's your emergency? That's how I am answering my phone from now on when a certain call display pops up a certain number from a certain person.
Folks, we had another emergency last night.
It was a strange one, and suffice to say, I don't know how much help I was ...
The project was a quilt for a certain baby shower this weekend.
The emergency was a bunching of thread -- the invisible almost-like-fishing-line-which-would-have-been-cheaper -- on only one of the lines down the quilt.
My suggestions:
1. Rip it out
Not a viable solution because, as I was told, It's INVISIBLE THREAD you can't see the stitches to rip them out.
2. Put a backing on it
This became the best solution, though the logistics were a little fuzzy.
3. Call Mum.
Not a viable solution because mum went AWOL last night and refused to take calls from either of us (My guess is she was hypnotized by Seacrest and didn't want to be interrupted)
I have never sewn with the invisible thread and it was difficult to understand (especially after two beers) that you couldn't find the stitch on the backside of it. But, well, duh it's invisible...
So, sadly, I was of no help. :(

PS - Further to that little fiasco, the sewing demons (kin to the typo demon) decide they would like to keep warm under the quilt and thus sewed it TO the sewing machine...you just can't win...
