78 bow ties
If I counted correctly, I have 78 bow tie blocks done and ready to assemble into the medallion style top.
The Singer seemed to be having a little problem with the stitching though that probably was "me induced". I need to read the manual and just play with tension settings but I didn't have the time or inclination to do that today. I also want to explore the cams that came with it so that might be good time to put it through its paces.
I brought the Jem in from the car. At least I knew for a fact that it would not mind the 4 to 6 layers of fabrics. I spent the better part of the day yesterday pinning the blocks so I could just chain to my hearts content today. Now I'm off to start the assembling process.
Hopefully this will be a top by day's end Friday----6 inch blocks 10 x 15. The hard part is already done.
