MarthaVA--like your stitching!

I had created this link for us earlier today and shows how to make a baby bib thought it would be good for a beginner project to quilt on

I want so much to learn this. All paterns appreciated

Grammy,

Don't begin on a quilt! Make several smaller (15 x 15" is a good size - just use the fabric and batting leftovers you have on hand) and practice, practice, practice. I love FM - the freedom of it is intoxicating, truly.

Awesome -- you've really inspired me! I just began doing SITD last night for the first time (had to get my courage up - I have 4 quilt tops waiting!) and I have to say, watching some of the tutorials on http://freemotionquilting.blogspot.com/ makes FMQ seem like so much fun. Can't wait to try those techniques!! :-) So glad you shared your samples.

Thanks for all the sites! I enjoy FMQ, and I still have to practice, practice, practice. One thing I do struggle with is figuring out what design to put on a quilt. I have recently started making potholders and practicing on them with Leah Day's quilting. I finally learned to calm down and go slow. And of course, no caffeine if I sew in the mornings!!!

I took a class but I'm afraid to get started! I see so many examples on this site alone, I'm intimidated. I guess I just have to take the plunge and be patient with my learning curve.

Hello to all who have had their BSRs for six months or more.

Bernina has put out new software for the BSR and has suggested replacing a spring in the BSR foot with a stronger one. The dealers don't charge much, and the spring is really inexpensive. I took my BSR in with my machine when I had it serviced and had the update done on the BSR at the same time.

The update makes the BSR work even better than it already does! It's well worth your time and money.
