This one had is ups and downs. If only I hadn't told the recipient that I was making it! In the end, I think everything turned out okay enough to give to baby Eva without feeling too embarrassed. I definitely learned a few things while working on it-
1. When my machine's screen says "Stop for safety purposes" it's time I take a break!
2. When using thin, see-through fabric, don't fold it double for the binding. It causes lesson #1!
3. When using high loft batting, the quilting line will get a wiggle every time I stop, even with the needle down.
4. When the quilt is all done and washed, the wiggles from #3 won't show too bad. ;)
5. The quilt binding set for my Janome machine works pretty well, but it won't finish the end for me. I still need to figure that out.
6. I can't "eyeball" anything! Not even sewing the bind strips together!
