Hello Friend,

You ever have one of those moments where you’re feeling so on top of things—until life decides to test your balance (and your coffee lid)?

There I was, happily stitching away on the Baby Lock Radiance, with OESD AquaMesh WashAway and BadgeMaster WashAway layered perfectly in my hoop. I’d stitched the placement line, tacked down my fabric, and was trimming the excess like a pro. Everything was going beautifully.

And then… splat! ☕

My coffee cup tipped over in slow motion—because of course it did—sending a river of caffeine right across my embroidery table and straight into my stabilizer.

Friends, if you’ve never seen WashAway stabilizer actually wash away right before your eyes, I can confirm: it’s both horrifying and impressive.

Let’s just say my “morning blend” became part of the project.

Lesson learned: coffee and stabilizer don’t mix—but humor sure does.

So here’s your friendly Friday reminder:
Keep your stabilizer dry, your thread untangled, and your coffee well out of splash range. ☕🪡

Have a wonderful (and spill-free!) weekend, friends.

— Donna

P.S. If you need a machine as forgiving as mine, stop by and test drive the Baby Lock Radiance—it’s still running beautifully, even after surviving my coffee catastrophe!
