I quilt on my Bernina, then move over to my Featherweight to do some piecing or work on cutting out fabric for a new quilt top. At night, I do appliqué or embroidery on a quilt block. That schedule works for me. I need to break up the quilting with other activities such as piecing. Best wishes on your quilting.
Hi fran , you have exactly the same work pattern as my self. Idiot realise somebody else was as mad as myself sewing all day. Meals quick and easy. I quilt on a juki or bernina and piece. On bernina featherweight or husqvarna Viking . The last machine is a lightweight to take to classes. Not fancy but I like it only problem can't move the needle position.
Night time applique, etc if no quilt related will knit or crochet. I just can't sit and do nothing with my hands at any. Time.
