I was recently asked about the overhead lighting I have for my longarm:
We purchased the overhead wiring feature (the basic framing/rails, etc.) from APQS
as an "add on" when I ordered the machine. But, the lights are separate
components that Jeff added by attaching them with clamps to the frame. He purchased the lights from Home Depot. There are two light units. So...two pieces of rail/track with 3 lights in each. More individual lights can be purchased and added on to each track. The feature I like best is that you can turn each individual light to the direction you choose (within the limits of it's turning capability). I think we paid around $40 per unit.
Thanks to Stephanie for asking for clarification. Happy quilting to all...
I seem to wear my jeans forever and I've had this particular pair for approximately 4+ years. Hey...I have a limited budget and what I have I'd rather spend on sewing and quilting supplies!
After all that wearing and washing, the back pockets started ripping out at the stitching and another small spot had caught on something making a tiny hole. I couldn't bear to throw them away so I fixed them with "special shaped" fabric yo-yos--made using Clover's yo-yo makers--and a bit of perle cotton free-form hand stitching! I have tested washing and drying the jeans (post-patching) to ensure stability--in fact, this picture was taken with the jeans pulled fresh from the dryer. YAY!
I *love how they turned out. I never thought I could love my old jeans more, but now I do. I've been thinking I may add some more to the front lower legs as a design element. Uh-oh...watch out closet...I'm getting jiggy with the yo-yo embellishments.
