Lorchen OFFLINE Posts: 2639 Thank you received: 50	Will the bobbin winding be done by hand or by machine??? And what size bobbins are allowed? Will we all have to use the same thread?? And would I be disqualified for doping if I eat a bar of chocolate before the event starts??

And I volunteer to represent TQS in the discipline of Rotary Cutter Tossing.

Lorchen is a WILD woman!! :shock:

If she does that I think we all need to chip in and purchase a uniform for her made out of that stuff those rotary cutter safety gloves are made out of. I think someone should design a uniform with our Star and letters TQS. Where are the former garment designers among us?

We could either go old-fashioned and make it from ring mail (still used in industrial butchery I believe) or we could come up-to-date with kevlar. the advantages of kevlar is that it wouldn't leave nicks on the blades!

I should think that Elenor Burns has the lifetime gold for scrap shoulder tossing

I'm in the Wrestling with a big quilt in a small machine right now. Does that count? Yes Norma, that would have to be in the 'extreme sports' category! And I think that Margo would have to win the gold medal in the 'International Lifesaving' category.
