Hi Sherry, how do you like the Tiara. I'm trying to get my hubby to buy me one. But he hasn't said yes yet and did you buy the one with the table? Just wondering is worth the money?

I love all these finished projects, they are great! Nothing more is finished....I got side tracked designing and cutting a new quilt....oh my.

Sherry and Krista, very nice quilts! I'm working on stuff but haven't completed any UFO's.

I have finished 3 blocks of 9 needed before I can put all 35 blocks together. Hopefully by the end of next week it will be completed. Here's one of my blocks. It's a sampler quilt. I'm just picking out different blocks (18 total) and 17 blocks all the same. I curious how it will come out. It's for a friend.

Hi! Yes I do like my Tiara. I bought it last September while it was on a 'special sale'. I am only on my 4th or 5th quilt on it, so I am in learning mode, but I have been free motion machine quilting queen and king sized quilts on my Bernina 440 for many years so it is much the same but with WAY more harp room, so my learning curve might be different than starting from no FMQ knowledge. I like not having my sewing machine tied up while quilting a big quilt. Probably my biggest learning item so far has been the tension adjustments - I mostly have never messed with bobbin tension on my Berninas - but this one STARTS with changing the bobbin tension first, but I think I figured it out now - and found bobbin thread that Tiara likes. I did get the white sit down table - I just don't have room for a big frame and since I was used to quilting on a small sewing machine, a sit down seemed like a good choice. I like the position of the machine all in front of me instead of to my right. Another thing - I always used my BSR (stitch regulator) on my Bernina - I haven't even opened the package of the stitch regulator for the Tiara ($1K) - I really haven't felt like I needed it. It came with the package I bought for my Tiara....not sure I will ever need that - so if you look at one and it doesn't come with the package, and you decide that you need a regulator you could always add it later. I also didn't get the side 'wings' for the table @ $90 each and I needed something, the table isn't wide enough to support a big quilt, so I set up my ironing board to table height, it works awesome for me. I am going to go to garage sales or Goodwill and buy another ironing board for a couple of bucks for the other side. Oh yeah - I have also been able to do some ruler work with it and that has been a lot of fun and something I couldn't do on my Bernina. Make sure you try a couple of different ones out!! My husband is glad that I finally settled on this (I had been looking for a while) and always reminds me that he has different saws and drills for different applications - kinda the same LOL!

I started trying to plan a leaf design to quilt into my border and ended up with a sort of flower with a watery looking meander around it. It needs some practice before I take it to the real quilt so I made a whole cloth dog quilt to practice on. Well I really wanted to try out that cool arabesque go die so I stuck one of those on the dog bed and well you get the picture, simple finish becomes additional project. Now I see why the ufo's multiply so fast.
Oh and I noticed my mckenna Ryan wall quilt that looks so darned cute and pulled it out to start placing pieces so I have a stand up and stretch my leg job for quiltig breaks.
I might not have had a February finish but maybe I canhget a couple of these wrapped up for march.

I keep staring at that Pineapple Blossom. It just sparkles. I think I have enough scraps to make a big one and beyond. I really think I would love to try that pattern.
I have finished quilting the Feb. baby quilt. I only have to bind it now. Photo when finally finished. Finished is a lovely word.

I think I skipped a page or two. Went back and found more wonderful 'finished' quilts. Kudos to all.

You have me laughing! I too suffer from the "oh shiny" syndrome. Instead of working on UFOs, I found myself dyeing fabric....not real sure how that happened...lol
