Weezie, Just curious... please explain why you are "surrounding your Janome with styrofoam" ??? I must have missed that on the QB? Thanks :-) |
What I've learned and why I love quilting.....There are no mistakes. There are errors but there is nothing that can't be fixed. The result....might not be what we planned or expected....but NO ONE knows that but us, the maker.
And, the love that goes into a quilt is worth all the frustration or excitement we feel. Just think "How far that love travels"? One of my quilts is now in Germany. My niece and her husband are stationed there. Ain't Love Grand!!!! |
"Scant 1/4 seam"? I think I missed something....lol
|
Take my time and even if it a mistake it is not the end. Keep going

To clean my machines regularly -- and to discard fear and dread!

But be sure you've got the correct measurement! Unlike what I did. :roll:

Seam, starch, press, square, seam, press, square. Move my finger out of the path of the rotary cutter. Ask and there shall be an answer. |
Patience
