That bobbinwork really has me hooked, but I am sort of spastic when doing FMQ/bobbinwork. I normally don't have much of a problem with true FMQ, but with the bobbinwork, I'm trying to follow the lines. It's almost like driving & watching the road right in front of the car, not up ahead. When you do that, you get all jerky with the wheel. I'm all jerky with the block & it really shows up since there is so much contrast.

Sew, I use a Janome 6600, so your 6500 would be just fine. Just about any machine will work for this, except a Featherweight or any other straight-stitch only machine. Needle turn is by hand. I am the only one, so far, who is doing machine applique & machine embroidery. Mine is bobbinwork for the embroidery. I have a tutorial for my method of machine applique. Go to the bottom of any page & click on Topic Lists. Affairs of the Heart is at the top. Click on it & you will see a tutorial for Open Satin Stitch applique.

no you are not behind. the official start date is in June. Lesley started early so she could take pics and do tutes for those of us who might need extra help. it gives us a chance to practice before starting the "real thing". also there is a JTG Club (jump the gun) and some have joined that. there is no pressure to "catch up" and everyone is encouraged to work at a pace that is comfortable for them. there are plenty of wonderful ladies who can and will answer any questions we might have.

Well, thank you, one and all - I guess I will just have to take a bow. Thank you again.

Genuflection (or genuflexion), bending at least one knee to the ground, was from early times a gesture of deep respect for a superior.

oh heck. REALLY. Best you get up now or be forever on one knee.
