Today I was working on a mini quilt for Exercise 1 of Chapter 3 in the Art Work Book and decided that I wanted to quilt it with the multiple curvy lines and flowers pattern in the Leah Day 365 book. It certainly wasn't perfect but I still liked it,...until I found where the material had gotten slashed right down the front. I didn't actually say any four letter words but I must say I was tempted.

I'm about to go to war with my foot petal. It just goes from not moving the machine to racing he machine with no middle ground. How am I supposed to get even stitches with that going on?

My mentor did give me some good advice when I am working with hi loft batting. She said to increase the stitch size to make up for the thread the loft takes up. No I just have to figure out how much that is.

Also on all future practice pieces I'm going to have one line of quilting done with my walking foot so I know the length of stitch I am shooting for.
