FIRST MACHINE QUILTING
REPORT
SHHH
I went and got my walking foot at my LQS yesterday and nearly fainted dead away at the price--but DH said: "You need it, don't you? So, get it!" (What a guy!)...
Yesterday I pin basted and this morning I attached the foot (easy peasy!) re-adjusted the pressure -- and I just finished quilting all the long vertical lines along the ....oops, can't give it away now (heh heh)--at any rate 12 lines. And, it went really well. (As I posted before I followed Eliz. Hartman's guidelines in her book "Modern Patchwork"--I love this book! see her at http://ohfransson.com )
Quel Supris!!
Am I doing my happy dance? You betcha! ...now to figure out how to quilt the rest....am looking at some options...
Have a happy weekend...hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse quilteuse :--)))

- I would love for you to join me (a retired senior)in my zany crafting adventures with quilting (waaaaay too much fabric); scrapbooking (will I ever catch up?); redwork; counted cross stitch; crossword puzzles; reading; and cooking.
Hope to see soon!! I always find it a challenge to figure out how to machine quilt something. I look through books and browse online. Hope you find some great ideas!
ReplyDeleteWahoo - good for you!! I'm hoping you will be sharing it soon?! I love the amount of inspiration out there at the end of our computers :-) Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou are going to love your walking foot for quilting. I use it more for quilting my quilts than my free motion foot. This series of quilting with a walking foot helped me a lot.

ReplyDeleteWalking feet are expensive, but so important for being able to get things done. Enjoy the process.
