INPUT ARTICLE: Article: . The bobbin is a small spool of thread that is loaded underneath your needle and it supplies the thread that comes up through the base of your machine. This thread connects with the thread on your needle and forms stitches. To wind the bobbin, insert the thread through the hole in your spool and then wind it around the bobbin a couple of times. Then, place the bobbin onto the small spool pin so that it is locked into place. Place your thread on the larger spool. Then, slowly apply pressure to your pedal and watch the bobbin wind with thread. Stop the pedal when the bobbin is nearly full. If you have pre-threaded bobbins, then you do not have to worry about threading a bobbin.

SUMMARY: Wind the bobbin

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In order to avoid unwanted seedlings, prune off the flowers as they begin to fade or die. This type of pruning is commonly called deadheading. Deadheading also helps the plant put its energy towards new blooms, rather than trying to keep the old blooms alive. Cut the stems all the way off at the base. Any flowers that are left on the plant will drop seeds onto the soil and new seedlings will emerge around the parent plant the following spring. The seedlings that grow from dropped seeds the previous season can be allowed to grow. However, they should be carefully dug up and moved as soon as they are large enough to handle to prevent overcrowding. If you remove the seeds from your roses, you can collect those seeds and grow them in a greenhouse. Keep in mind that the seedlings may not look like the parent plant. Seeds from hybrid plants often produce plants that look like winter roses from a previous generation.

SUMMARY: Deadhead your flowers. Manage the seedlings that appear. Consider propagating seeds in a greenhouse.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Attending classes at the temple where you took refuge is a great way to stay connected to the Buddhist community. A quick note upon visiting temples, don't sit with the bottoms of your feet towards altars, Buddha statues, or monks. Women may not touch monks in any way, even to shake hands, and men cannot do the same with nuns. A simple bow will do. Most temples offer lessons in yoga, meditation, or various sutra lessons. Spend time with friends and family members who are Buddhist, too. Many translated sutras are available online, your temple might have a library, or you can buy sutras. There are also many different Venerable monks and lay Buddhists who have written explanations of Buddhist sutras. Some of the most popular Buddhist sutras are: The Diamond Sutra, The Heart Sutra, and The Great Perfection of Wisdom Sutra. Teach others what you have learned about Buddhism once you think you've mastered a concept. There are hundreds of Buddhist concepts and teachings to study, but try not to feel overwhelmed or pressured to "get it" right away. Attend classes taught by a Venerable or lay devotee at your temple. When you took refuge in the Triple Gem, you vowed to uphold the Five Precepts, but this can be difficult at times. Do your best to not kill any living creature, do not steal, do not commit sexual misconduct, be honest, and do not consume addictive intoxicants such as alcohol or drugs that makes you lose control of your mind. If you break the precepts, simply repent, and do your best to keep upholding them. This is an important part of Buddhism which requires Buddhists to lead a balanced life that is not too lavish or too stringent. The Middle Way is also known as the "Noble Eightfold Path," which teaches Buddhists to abide by eight elements. Spend time studying all eight: Right view Right intention Right speech Right action Right livelihood Right effort Right mindfulness Right concentration

SUMMARY:
Keep connected to the Buddhist community. Study Buddhism regularly. Uphold the Five Precepts. Practice the Middle Way.
