The Good News: I just finished my first attempt at applique and am very pleased with it (not going to get into how messed up it is though). :)
The Bad News: I just broke my second needle this week, which also happened to be my last. No more quilting for me until I make it to the store! :( |
Congratulations on your spplique. Sorry you broke the needle and have to go to the store for more. It will be so hard to go shopping. ha ha

Congrats on the applique! Is it machine or hand? I only do fusible web applique where you blanket stitch the outer edge by machine.
Bummer about the needle. I can't get the needles I like locally so I tend to order a bunch so I'll never run out (hopefully). |
Got to keep extra needles just for this. I have a "baby" tool box just for needles to sew with and for my machines. Sorry. It's a bummer I know. Glad you finsihed the quilt. Hope you post pictures. Happy quilting.

Glad you finished your first attempt at applique, but sorry about breaking your LAST needle!! I start to panic when I get low and go on a shopping trip to get stocked up again!! Hopefully you won't be out for very long!
