Something changed. I am not sure what. Understanding? Small success? I don’t know, but something clicked into place and I am back on track to make progress on the Pandora Charisma.<\/p>\n

First, I have been reading the pattern and watching the video to help move me along. This should be the magic combination, but the video’s sound wasn’t working so I had to read the closed captioning. First world problem, I know, but something was missing. It could be the way I learn. <\/p>\n

The other day, the video’s sound magically started working! This was so helpful. <\/p>\n

I have been using the Diamond quilted vinyl from Sewfisticated and I am pleased with the overall look of the back panel. I was concerned with the white and the black combo when I put on the bottom D-rings, but the connector at the top made the whole thing look good.<\/p>\n

Next, I was confused about the interfacing. Decovil was one of the options. The designer provides several different options, which is awesome, but also confusing. The presenter on the video talked a little about the stick-on Sewfisticated interfacing. I have some and decided to try it. Magical! I don’t have to iron it or sew it on, which is important for the exterior I am using, which cannot be ironed. <\/p>\n

Also, I bought a Teflon foot for my machine, which really works well. <\/p>\n

Finally, seeing what the presenter did with the D-rings (mine are triangles on white strips in the above photo) and using the Teflon foot made the sewing so much easier. <\/p>\n

So, I think I am back on track. Fingers crossed! I have 8 days to go before the UFO challenge deadline<\/a>. Will I make it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
