I try to design something new to print nearly every single day. It\u2019s what I do and the reason for this hobby. For me it is not just about the printing. It\u2019s seeing a new design become a real thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My spouse is a quilter. Sewing is her thing. I support her the best I can but I am not a quilter myself. There are a few males into the craft, but it isn\u2019t common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is a new bobbin case I designed. Bobbins are a tiny flat spool of thread used in sewing machines under \u201cthe deck\u201d and supply the thread for the lock stitching on the underside of the material.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I won\u2019t get into the operational details but all modern day sewing machines use a bobbin of some kind as far as I know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quilters like to have a few spare (full) bobbins on hand when they go on their \u201cretreats\u201d (quilting bees in the old days) and spend a few days together in a group sharing and sewing session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a four bobbin case with a slide off lid. Nothing spectacular in these first prototype prints. I could add some decoration or color variations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The goal for these cases was to make sure I could print the slide grooves and little flanges. A little hand clean-up and these work very nicely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
