The Mysterious Clicks

Holy cow, lots of posts from me today!

I forgot to post this video I took of the pretty pink thread going on the bobbin.

Mostly, I wanted to show you the weird clicking sound coming from that end of the machine - I mentioned it before. The repair guy said not to worry about it, but it doesn't sound nice... So if the sound works, you should hear the hum of the machine, and a rhythmic clicking. It's definitely related to something turning in the machine, because the frequency of the clicks depends on the speed of the machine.

Piecing Progress (Spring Quilt)

Thanks for all of your lovely comments of motivation for this quilt!

I've strip-pieced as much as I could, though I cut some strips lengthwise off the bolt, so I can't strip-piece, but otherwise I would have needed more material than I have... It'll be okay, just a bit more stopping and starting on the machine :)

Here are some of the yellow/oranges I picked:

I had an involuntary break from quilting yesterday, because my machine had started making a weird clicking sound inside the machine near the stitch length regulator. I took it to the shop, but the repair guy had no clue what it was, he took everything apart, oiled it up a bit, put it back together and said it's nothing to worry about. But it still doesn't sound nice, so I'll do some investigating what it might be...
