Hint:
If your machine is setting on a table not in a table- put a rubber wedge type door stop behind it. By tilting the machine slightly your stitching is more visible and also less strenuous on your arms. Also take a break every 20 minutes. |
I love doing meandering, but tend to hold my breath while concentrating not to cross lines or make sharp turns. Guess how blue in the face one can get when doing a king size quilt on a dm!
|
I don't like the curved bumps and the don't cross your lines type of meandering. Paisley or any of that type of rocking back and forth designs seem so much more natural to me. Check out DayStyleDesigns for tons of ideas for quilting designs.

I have done the method mentioned in that thread. I don't have many problems getting myself stuck anymore. I only did this type of meandering because that is what my son thought the quilt needed and it is for HIS son. I have six quilts waiting to be quilted. Going to do something I enjoy more for the next one!
Then I will do something to "teach" me something new on the next. I try to alternate so that I can still enjoy my hobby while learning new things. |

[I also test drove both the HQ16 and the Tiara (same machine - different badge) and LOVED it and want one!![/QUOTE]
I am getting to like stippling and am a little nervous about making larger quilting look even. I've commented here several times how much I love the HQSweet16 that I've test driven several times. Keep hoping the universe will find a way for me to get one, though I don't know where I'd put it. A nearby longarmer has one - she's a sales rep, so next time I have something to quilt I'm going to go there and use it. |
