Stitchnripper

Here are some photos of my most recent quilt. Pieced on the 401 and quilted on the electric 66. I even attempted some FMQ on the 66 and it really did fine, based on my abilities. The thread only broke twice. Used regular Coats & Clark thread. I used all pieces from my scrappy stash. I only really buy those little bundles in the scrap bin at JoAnn Fabrics and Hancocks. I even pieced big strips of leftover warm and natural batting with that batting tape. That was a challenge because it stuck to the iron and I ended up using a pressing cloth. Might just zig zag pieces together next time. You can see the mistakes in the blocks, usually because I am "flying by the seat of my pants" and don't pay the best of attention. But, it was to use up scraps and then practice the FMQ on the vintage machine. I didn't cover the feed dogs, but set the stitch length to zero.
