And forget the straight lines...ruler work....I even bought the extra tool to put on my machine head and the acrylic ruler....AWFUl!!! I guess I hate the thought of hours and hours of practicing....trying....when I could be making another quilt. Anyone else just do the easy stuff?
When I was doing my hearts I cheated. I traced the design onto paper then followed the drawn lines. It made it a lot easier when I am not good at it. since then I went to a machine quilting class and we were shown the right way to do it. But FIRST you must practice on a sandwiched square before doing it on your quilt.
