First, you are practicing on plain fabric. What are the odds of you quilting on a plain quilt? SLIM!! Second, you need to remember that quilters that make it look easy have been doing it for quite some time. Finally, it takes most people a very long time to get their stitches all the same size and yours are...that is something. I say you deserve another medal but I am all out. Great job!!!<br /><br />BTW love you Duo fabrics...can't wait to see your block(s)...are you tilting?Rhonda the Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04381491345256616685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-256856731783623188.post-6144337440649048052011-10-08T02:48:52.677+01:002011-10-08T02:48:52.677+01:00Ok, that scrap pack is the best deal going!!! And ...Ok, that scrap pack is the best deal going!!! And as for your free motion, you are trying to draw long straight lines, silly. You use a walking foot for that. When you drop the dogs and attach a darning foot, you've gotta keep that sandwich moving. Try loopy, swirly stuff! Don't worry about stitching over previous lines! Have fun! Honestly, trying to draw long parallel lines with FM is near impossible and will result in a twisted colon every time.Poppyprinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08251892807966340175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-256856731783623188.post-62399312886516875912011-10-08T02:03:21.662+01:002011-10-08T02:03:21.662+01:00You know what they say...karma is only a b*tch if ...You know what they say...karma is only a b*tch if you are.
