MSQCo News- May/June 2023


 


May 25, 2023
Dear Friends,

Hello! It's been a cloudy week here in Bozeman and we are looking forward to having to mowing the lawn again (not really... it's not the favorite household task) but I am very thankful for the moisture! This week has been full of meeting new friends from all around the world- Spain, the Netherlands, Iowa...I hear this is a good time to visit Yellowstone and then stop in and get some of our Custom Yellowstone fabrics (while they last).

Machine Corner:
When was the last time you put in a new needle? If you are like me, you don't think about changing the needle until it breaks. Replacing your needle frequently gives a better stitch, it doesn't put snags in your fabric and is overall a good habit to get into. Not sure when a new needle is needed? See the photo below... The purple arrows show that these lines/snags are a telltale sign that your needle needs replacing!

 


Need a new machine? Let us help you get into the best tool for your best work. There's great sale going on with Janome until the end of June- stop in and see the new models of machines!
