So .... if you are wanting something larger, that's where you will make the decision, whether you need 2, or 4 or 6 etc.!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]318086[/ATTACH]Whitepine, I agree about sewing long stripes and keeping that scant 1/4". While I do have a quarter inch foot I also adjust it as far to the right as it allows. But I am reminded of a lesson years ago and I think it was Eleanor Burns that taught when sewing stripes never go beyond 18"in length and you'll be more accurate. I was short on my stripes too as I was using scrapes for some of my fabrics. But it all comes out in the end and that is the goal! lol

Greetings everyone!!! I'm not the only one getting anxious, I see. Thinking of lots of combinations that I could do once we know what it looks like. Can you tell I just found the color button. I'm learning more things every day. WOW!!! Daughter would be so impressed.
