I love my Twister and Primitive Twister Tools. I am currently working on a Shamrock wall hanging, a pattern purchased by our vary own Handcraftsbyjen.

I'm awfully attracted to twister motifs, just haven't gotten around to getting the ruler! It also seems a bit fiddly, maybe too much so for me.

Well, I finally attempted the lil twister (only have had the template for about 1 yr).....It is a little tricky cutting that template away from the squares.......I had to use my "turntable type" cutting mat and a really be careful not to cut too far past that template or that would "cut" would show up in the next row cutting.
I simply used scraps and cut the 5"squares with my GO...I cut 25....bordered with 3" strip and then started the trick cutting. The first row, I really felt like I was all thumbs, but then I developed a kind of pattern and figured out what I was doing......I will cut the trimmings with my GO. When I sewed the twists together I used leaders & enders-altho my machine has a cut thread and then knot the new stitch.....sometimes-well most of the time--the thread will unthread itself, then having to rethread with the "auto threader" is another pain.....and I also don't like the knot that it makes at the beginning of sewing...thus leaders/enders.....can you tell I am not "thrilled" with this new machine.....another story...... Anyway, I finished a while ago and I had to tell someone......so here you all are!!!! It is now what I would consider a "doll quilt"....don't know what I will do with that...I would like to make a tablerunner, so I better cruise the net and see if there are patterns anywhere. So to those who have done the twisters....I can see the "fun" of them, and those who are a little leery about trying, just jump in.....the water is fine!!!!! |

Please don't give up on your new machine-it just may be something that can be turned off in settings. And I would encourage you to take the owners classes-usually free if machine is purchased there. You will learn to use and love your machine!

As for if I have a website, yes I do. It is in my signature. Right now it only has my Shamrock Twist pattern on it, but the web designer has promised to finish the site in the next couple of days and then I can post the picture of my Bunny Twist (which will start shipping Thursday). My other pattern currently out is a Helping Hand Jar Opener. |
Gerri B,
Can you tell me about where you found a cute way of doing twisters on Moda Bake Shop? I looked back several pages and didn't see anything. Thanks Mary |
