Nice to see I'm not the only one who has trouble like this with double-thread sewing. I've always caught my mistakes, so far.
I love it when the thread is 50% off at JoAnn's. That's the only time I buy thread now. Then I buy a handful and revel in all the different colors. I love you, colorful thread.
It looks like something kind of futuristic -- and scary -- but it's actually just the casing for the bobbin of my new (yet old) sewing machine. It was also the source of much frustration the first time I tried to use it.
Definitely didn't need to worry about losing the way with all the thread marking the path many pilgrims walked!
When you have finished sewing down the plastic pocket then sew on the binding. I used the same method I would use for putting binding on a quilt, but you could use bias binding or even just satin stitch around the edge of the fabric sandwhich - it's really up to you. Don't forget to sew on the ribbon which will tie the thread holder together when it's rolled up.
tons of fun stuff in here... bias tape, seam binding, ricrac, even a bias tape maker - came with the sewing machine & other stuff from the estate sale
Thread-waisted wasp, Ammophila nigricans, sipping nectar from composite flowers. Havens Park, Leavenworth, Kansas, USA, September 27, 2022.
These sweet button cookies were made by Amanda. She found the recipe in a magazine & went to town making them. The "thread" came from the Yum Yum Tree in Baileys Harbor. We got the last package they had.

cross stitched, no pattern used, I wanted to add more detail but the artritis in my hands made this little bit unbareable
Views of the pincushion and needles used in the project. indigo dyed hemp cloth, machine and hand sewn, hand forged sterling silver needles, handspun 2-ply silk thread.
The pincushion is stuffed with lead fishing weights and fiberfill. It is shaped like a barrel indigo vat, and it's actual heavy weight is symbolic for me of the weight of the 20 gallon vat, in the sense that the vat is not often moved; one must go to it. The place where the vat is, is like roots, or home, which grad school was for three years. Then like a child leaving the nest when it's time, I "moved" this vat with me, in the form of this pincushion, to a new home, where I then made my own 25 gallon vat in 2002, which is my vat today.

Handmade brass and embroidery thread charm with beads for a swap in Fiber Art Traders group. I had grand plans of making at least 4 for the swap, but I took forever to cut and file this one, and beat my hands up. I decided to just trade this one, and do some sewing for a while.
