Hi friends,
I'm on an adventure of sorts- learning to FMQ. Okay, in the summer I pieced a Christmas quilt and started quilting it on my Bernina, got frustrated and put it away. I then bought a Juki 2010TLQ because of the larger throat. I love it but.......... my previous work was awful. I forgot that part and was happily quilting along when I ran into all kinds of creases. I was horrified and knew I couldn't live with it.
So......... I unstitched a top that was 3/4 quilted. I won't even tell you how long it took and how sore my fingers are right now! But it's done, done, done.
I recall that I sandwiched it on carpet- big mistake. I used Fusiboo and thought it was all ready to quilt.
Don't ask me why I used the carpet. I have no idea. I have a large table I could have used.
Has anyone "unquilted" a top or am I the only doofus here? Any other major blunders you'd like to share? I won't laugh because I have too many of my own!
I'm going to learn FMQ if it kills me
And if not, I'll keep hand quilting.
