This way I could clearly see what I had already quilted so I didn't have to worry about crossing lines, etc. After I tried this, it was so easy that I got the feeling that I have to be the last quilter on earth to figure this out.

good idea too!

I am last and I've been quilting on the machine a long time. Why oh why did I not think of that? Can't wait to try it. THANKS!!

Oh yeah, it saves your back because you aren't hunching to see where you are going. I finished two projects this week by FMQ and am working on a third. I have about 12 that need to be finished and with a wedding to pay for on the horizon, I can't send stuff to my LAQ.

LOL. that is the only way I have ever done it for that very reason.
since there were no quilt police around i kept it up. |
I`m so confused,, I`ve been a seamstress and also a sewing machine operater for 25 * years . But I`ll try anything.. would you happen to have a pjoto for the `show me` types. i`m really from Texas but i need the visuals. Thanks!
I`m probably gonna be told to take meds again,, What the heck did I do wrong i wonder? talk too much? |
