This next block we received is block B5 which is the exact same block as B4 and we need to complete 8 of them. B5 block is the same as B4 except some of the fabrics and thread color is different.
I didn't do a video showing this block but here's a picture of blocks B4 and B5 together. B4 is on the left and B5 is on the right.
And on a more depressing note, my Babylock Unity has been acting up lately and I was hoping that a good cleaning would take care of the issue but it hasn't. So I'm going to finish up the remaining B5 blocks I have to do and then take it into the quilt shop. I don't know why but the machine will just stop during embroidery. No error message, nothing. It'll start again and sometimes stop again or it will just keep sewing. There doesn't seem to be any reasoning to it and rebooting doesn't help either so I'll just make a note whenever it stops, take some video (since you KNOW it won't happen when its being repaired!), and take it into the shop.
Here's a tip though if your doing this quilt. If you remove the hoop from the machine, don't grab it by the battilizer. Always, grab the frame of the hoop. That battilizer is fairly slippery and the slightest tug could just pop it right out of the hoop and then you'll have to start all over. Ask me how I know. So I'll just have to start a new sewing project. One that doesn't involve embroidery.
