I found out (by accident) that the reason my new Brother CS 6000i took so much upper thread on the uptake is because the tension was tight.
Not TOO tight, really, as I was top-stitching quilts and then making handbags out of heavy material. When I got to lightweight fabric for the series of blouses, I found that the wasted upper thread problem on the uptake isn’t a problem on light thread/light tension. Also the machine is much quieter.
So now I have been making blouses out of thin material like mad. I think sewing might be the best weight loss pill yet, I don’t have time to eat. Of course I’ll find time to eat again, sewing isn’t THAT good of a pill.

This particular blouse is size 3X. There are problems fitting extra large women and I think there’s a big market for good-looking and well-fitting clothes. I sure don’t see much to love in Walmart and Target, and let’s admit it, all of us look for bargains there.
