Breaking news, straight from Innova:
Introducing our New Timing Tool!
Our engineering team at ABM has been working diligently on the development of an accurate timing tool for customers for the last three years. It’s Patent Pending in the United States and Europe. We’ve tested it for the last six months and are happy to announce that it’s now being made available to you!!! This tool allows the machine owner to accurately time their machine and set the needle height without making errors. It is 100% accurate and simple to use. It ships as a set, needle height gauge and timing tool, complete with instructions. It’s absolutely amazing! No longer squint and use a magnifier to see the hook point and needle.
Step one: insert the needle height bushing and set the needle height.
Step two: attach the timing tool and swing in the needle height gauge.
Step three: swing out the gauge and raise the needle:
Step four: Rotate the hook and press the hook point tightly to the v-block and lock up the set screw it’s that easy!!!

Tucked away in St. George, Utah, is one of my favorite designers, Joyce Weeks of Geoff's Mom Pattern Company. She decided to move from her primary home in Salt Lake City, Utah, to her vacation home...leaving behind a very nice studio. Although currently she is finding it kinda tight, there is light on the horizon as she has plans to build a home with a new studio! I had a wonderful day just hanging out, seeing her new designs...OMG...and mentally adding a few more UFO's to my list of dreams.
It was funny to see her computer had one of her patterns as a screen saver that I have on my "To Do" list back in Sisters, Oregon. I am anxious to get home and start an Americana theme'd project...after all, that holiday is around the corner...and, I do have a kit, LOL!
This past weekend Joyce was at Quilt Market along with the other fabulous designers, fabric companies, sewing machine manufacturers and notion distributors. I know you are as anxious as I am to see what they all are bringing to our world this season. Joyce's new designs are fabulous and my only problem is trying to decide which one I want to start with, LOL.
I hope you enjoy the slide show, Joyce's home is so inspiring and I know, if you are not a fan you will be :) Click here to check out my conversation with Joyce on The Quilt Roadies video.
