I'm making a "simple" irish chain baby quilt for a friend's baby (who is due today). I was planning on doing free motion quilting all over it in a meandering pattern in white. Spent a long time last night fighting with the machine over tension and breaking thread (and I'm using good thread, even). Finally got it working well. Quilted a bit over 25% of the quilt, mostly on the border, and realized that the white thread looks great on the white/bright pieced part, but really lousy on the dark blue border. Ahh! Will probably rip it out and do the quilting on the border in a more matching dark blue, but am not looking forward to that much time with the seam ripper.
