Greetings folks. Received the spool huggers today and secured the ridiculous amount of excess linen. The silicone grabs nicely and doesn't shift, no ends sticking out to catch floss, and except for the double fabric corner they should work out for this project.
I'm not sure how they would hold on much less fabric, possibly too loose. Bobbin huggers may work but they are clips like the Clover Wonders. Because huggers are made of soft silicone they should grab better than Clovers and stay in place.
One end is more tapered and comes to point, it can easily be trimmed to a rounder edge (I already cut it) so it doesn't poke the linen.
A few of them are not as tightly wound and by changing which end goes over the other, that can be remedied.
My friend from high school is coming to stay here for our 50th reunion this week. I'm getting a room ready for her and planning meals. I will attend the mixer Friday night for a brief period but am not going to the reunion dinner. I can't handle the disrespect and intolerance for others in today's society of labeling and name calling, most not justified. I'm not a party person.
There is no change or improvement in this latest flare of symptoms. I can't tolerate light, everything is a blur except for 10 seconds after the drops, the burning is even my surrounding skin and eyebrows. I know there are many issues so much worse, but I am thoroughly disgusted and emotional. I saw an orthopedic about the associated joint pain and he has seven patients in the last two years that developed auto-immune from their flu shot. I know the risk is very low, but I am fuming that every possible risk is listed for even an aspirin, yet no one is warned of what could happen when you trigger the immune system, especially if you have an unknown predisposition. So far, five of my doctors agree that vaccine caused this, and knowing that makes me more angry. How many people (women are highly more susceptible) developed Crohn's, Sjogren's, and other auto immunes within months of their injection and it was never associated?
My friend will be leaving next week, and hopefully my eyes will start calming down by then. I went for so long not wanting to stitch, and now that I do, I can't!! The doctor wants me to start a medication (the one that can cause vision loss) but I am terrified to take it. Not sure I trust "low risk".
Have a great week.
Thanks for visiting. And listening.

Boy Marly, you are sure dealing with a lot. Yes, it certainly would be nice if people were told the risks of a flu vaccine prior to receiving it. Sending prayers that things improve and that you will be able to get back to stitching! God Bless friend.
Thinking of you, Marly, and praying for healing.
I hope and pray you have a good time at your reunion Marly. I also hope and pray this medication works well. I totally understand your fear. I would be very nervous about using it also.
When I took the swine flu shot back in the 70's I suddenly started showing signs of lupus (also auto immune). Had roughly 20 years of hell (bad joint pain, rashes) then the symptoms slowly subsided. No symptoms any longer. The point is...you DO NOT get over lupus...so I would say this is definitely a case caused by flu shot. I no longer take ANY flu or pneumonia shots, can't risk it. I hope you "outgrow" yours or at least find some degree of relief.
Marly, I was thinking about this post while waiting for the dryer to buzz. I was wondering (and you probably already thought of this) in addition to seeking relief from your symptoms how about boosting/repairing the ol immune system?
I know you are a champion internet searcher but I thought I'd include this info link. I hate to think of you so uncomfortable with little help from the medical field.

Marly a big hug and lots of prayers for you!
Hope you will enjoy the days with your friend staying.
Greetings Truus from Holland
Hope you are doing better SOON! I would be so nervous about taking anything....
Went to my 10th reunion (decades ago) and didn't enjoy it at all. But, I have a friend who goes to all of hers and has a blast every time. Different strokes.....
Oh Marly dear, my heart goes out to you.. of all people to be plagued with these
symptoms...I listened to a wise relative and never took flu shots... just an
abundance of Vitamin C and elderberry syrup daily and my immune system kept me free of colds all Winter... I ditto Maureen's suggestions … We should all be boosting our
immune systems given the risks out there. Praying you through. I received the
grabbers and they work well on the large sampler I am doing...Many thanks for that
heads up. Hope you have a more pleasant time at your reunion this time around...
Bless you.
So sorry you are not improving. Hopefully something will help you and soon.
Hugs and prayers.
I'm so sorry about this latest flare-up, Marly. You really have me rethinking getting my annual flu shot... Hope is lets up a bit and you are at least able to function at the reunion. Sending a hug!
