Unfortunately I don't. I will continue to look for the magazine with the pattern. I don't generally throw anything away, so I feel sure that it is here somewhere. Does that say anything about my housekeeping?

I'll bet a lot of us could say the same thing about OUR housekeeping! :D

Whew ! You mean I'm not the ONLY one? :lol:

the machine I use the most is a JANOME 9000 I bought it used from a sewing machine dealer, a lot of times you can get a very nice used machine because someone else wanted to trade for the newest, and a sewing machine dealer will have the best selection, plus they will probably service it before they sell it. I would be sure and ask them to do that.

does anyone use a babylock? the fabric store closest to me only sells that brand.

Wow, that quilt is beautiful! Do you remember whose pattern it is? I would love to put that on my list. :D

I have a babylock serger and I've been very pleased with it, much more so than the Singer.

Don't know if you meant mine or not. The pattern is Tilted Squares and it's a paper pieced pattern. I don't remember what company made it, but I can check when I get home tonight and post it then.

I sold my Bernina and got a Janome because I prefer the drop in bobbin. The B is also an expensive machine to own. Everything costs. The Janome you can afford to buy accesories for. I have to say, I'm very satisfied with the Janome but wanted something to do fancy sticthes with.
I just bought a Brother for fun and have fallen in love with it. I got it at Walmart because they are so good about returning things. The price is unbelievable for all the things that came in the package. It weighs under 20 Lbs anad has 60 fancy stitches and a drop in bobbin and a extention table etc, etc. Oh ya, also a walking foot! For under $300!!!!!

Check it out :!:

Oh yes, I really do like your Tilted Squares quilt. :D I'm thinking I might really like paperpiecing, too. Is this too hard to start paper piecing on?

I had one of those once and it was a great machine. One day I got up in a hurry and caught my foot in the cord pulling the machine off onto the floor. I was pretty sure I had ruined it but it never missed a beat. You can't ask any more than that!

The pattern is by Fiskars. If you can't find it, let me know. My main problem was that it didn't include the amount of material needed for each piece, so at first I was cutting them too small. I'm sure there are easier patterns to learn to paper piece with, but if I can do this one anyone can. I really enjoyed it once I got the hang of it. I

Thanks, Betsy. I'll check it out. I have done something similar with students. I had them measuring from the edge of a square of paper and when you go through the steps it looks like your quilt. I guess it appeals to the geometry teacher in me! :wink: :D

You're welcome. Good luck and be sure to post pictures.
