Here are some of the things that have inspired us this week. 1. Sewing Summit 2012: A Modern Sewing and Blogging Conference. I had no idea this existed and was sad to see the it was all full up. The classes look like they would be a blast and it would be so much fun to mingle with all these crafters. 2. Broderie Perse. We are working on a modern version of this, but it's fun to see old quilts. Google the term or check out Barbara Brackman's awesome post about the art. 3. Fabric Stiffener! We are gearing up to go to Quilt Market and have been looking around for the best fabric stiffener to make some floral brooches with. Do you have a favorite fabric stiffener?

Sometimes it becomes necessary to home the Slice. This means that somehow, the Slice has gotten off the main track. Sometimes this happens from regular use, sometimes if the machine cut something a little too ambitious for it's blade. Whatever happened to cause it to jump track, homing the machine is simple and easy to do. Here is an exaggerated view of what a Slice that needs to be homed looks like:
Notice how the rotary blade is not perpendicular to the machine. This is a good indication that it needs to be homed. To home your machine, follow the instructions after the jump.
