Hi all,
Well, just finished up getting acquainted with my new PQ1500...so far, so good...I chain pieced several blocks, could not believe how fast it went, how the thread didn't bunch up at the beginning, and the 1/4 inch foot is right on! I did some 1/8 inch from seam straight quilting (not sure if there is a real term for that..?? :?: )...I did not even put the walking foot on, I used the pin feed setting, and it turned out great! On to fmq...well, now I have to say the machine is doing its part...I am still fairly new to this, so the "pattern" of stitching is not the best. What I can say, though, is that the quality of the stitches was great, there were no "birds nests", "skips", "loopys", etc...and that is HUGE for me...so, all in all a good 1st date...and, I can't wait to try more tomorrow! I do so hope that the fmq gets better, I have seen so many beautiful quilts, a lot of them on here...and I just want so much to be able to get this fmq down!!
