Well, I managed to get ONE design stitched out yesterday.
It's cute but good gravy...all my testing and playing previously has been with single-color designs. This darn thing had me sitting there and changing the thread constantly! 22 thread changes later and I have a very cute fairy with hardly any puckering. Success-ish! But it took forever!! I don't know what's "normal" but 22 thread changes seems like a huge pain.
Originally I was going to have something like 20 fairies on the quilt but now I'm thinking I will never get this quilt done in time if I stick with that, so I'm going to have to rework my ideas. Maybe five fairies is enough! LOL
I think 9x11 is about the size of the fabric I used, and I threw out my "on point" idea for now. I'm going to have to rethink this whole quilt anyway so might as well make my life a LITTLE easier.
I'll have to check out Craftsy, I like their classes and for some reason didn't think to check there.
