I have to go buy more muslin to practice on! I have used up every scap of any solid fabric I had just practicing. I tried it on some print but didnt show up too welland I still need to see what the heck I am doing. Thinking I might get some panels too, if I can find some on sale, so I can pretend I am quilting a real quilt,
I was at a Bernina class with my friend and I tried to do some feathers on her new 830. It wasn't easy at all. I did a terrible job. Can't tell you how many "cat" quilts I have from practice, all muslin. Determination is the key and I see you are very determined. Keep up the practice and you will keep improving. Look how far you've come in such a short time. You are doing fantastic. Sharon Schamber's is good. She was here but I didn't go to her class because she wasn't giving any longarm instructions. PPP


So how did you start quilting? Did you free motion on a domestic machine or jump in with a frame & machine? If you have any more little tricks or tips like this feather one, I would be mighty grateful!!!!!! :D
