I have a couple if tops that I am stumped on...they must be mute...no screaming at my house! LOL
I am just learning free motion, so I am anxious to give it a go on a "real" quilt. The walking foot is great, but I think I'm bored with stitch in the ditch. I picked up several books from the library in hopes of being inspired. I love quilt magazines, but they focus more on the patchwork and less on the quilting.
