Quilting on home machine
I read all the posts on the QB for stitch in the ditch, watched YouTube videos and read several blogs about it. I had done SID on my very first quilt- Convergence by Ricky Tims- what was I thinking! So I am thinking this can't be too hard since the little quilt is about 30" X 40". I glue basted and it looked so good. Changed the needle on machine to a quilting needle, put walking foot on and some soothing music. Starting in the middle and working my way out was working pretty well. But as I worked my way around the quilt, puckers appeared here and there on the front! Seam ripper and I bonded even more yesterday. I stuck it out and finished but certainly way below my standard of approval. Will put binding on tonight and wash. Has anyone experienced this frustration with SID? What other resources would you suggest to improve on this? I spent 4 hours- yes, four hours on this little quilt! And at the end, I feel more relief than it being a learning experience and it certainly was not fun.
