I don't spend much time on here. I would rather sew, or take care of my grandkids. I am new at quilting, and I don't have any family or friends around that do it. SO I come here and just read and look at the pictures. But I keep reading about people saying that their machine will eat the edge of a triangle.
I have learned that if I start in the middle of the triangle, and sew out to the edge, I don't have that problem. It makes you have to start and cut thread twice in each triangle, but it works. I don't like to work with triangles. I would rather work with bigger pieces.
thanks for all of the help so far.
