Stuck

So the apron was on the agenda today, but I ran into issues. My sewing machine has developed a bit of an attitude. The top thread keeps breaking and it's making a scary clunking noise. I tried cleaning it, oiling it, replacing the needle... and it worked when I just tested it on scraps, but when I switched back to the apron, I got all of six inches sewn and then the thread broke. Frustrating.

Tomorrow, round two.
