Advancement to my 7° MUF-New friend: "Lady in Red"-Marked quilting Tip
 

Hello! I hope everyone is well!
I am very happy! I'm working on my MUF 7°: "Sewing Baskets". I was able to finish this top which was the 2009-2010.
And meanwhile, my birthday present came forward and became my new friend and companion of Adventures: A Janome Memorie Craft 7700 QCP Horizon!!!
It's beautiful! Called her "Lady in Red"! I love the Red!
I started to do the quilting marks, and came up with an idea they share.
A half heart template, I did some horizontal marks where I "saw" an arc. Those marks served me to always make the template always in the same place on the canvas. Then I followed the lines with a temporary marker, and appeared "arcs" that I wanted to do in the 9-Patch!
Hope you like this simple tip!
I have a lot of work ahead! Have a nice week!
A big hug!

Thank you for the tip. Beautiful work and love the Lady in Red!!!!!

Your work is always beautiful~ I hope you and "Red" have many wonderful hours together:)

Beautiful quilt and thanks for the tip. I'll have to try that. It beats doing SID all the time. Red is awesome. Looks like you are having a lot of fun.

Very nice as always! Thank you for sharing your quilting tips. Best wishes. :)

hi very nice

I'm green with envy, I have a Janome 6500 and want a Horizon, but I do not NEED it ... so pooh, I'll just have to continue loving my 6500 but she is overdue for some maintenance and I hate to part with her.

Your quilt is fabulous! And your quilting tip is wonderful, thanks for sharing

Your quilt is so very pretty! Thank you for the great tip! :)

I love your embroidery. The colors you used go really well with the fabric, too. Happy birthday, I just had one too but I didn't get a lady in red in the mail...

Love the new machine! Your quilting is always awesome!

Congrats on your new Machine !
Your quilt is very pretty. Look forward to seeing it finished.

beautiful quilt and machine

Thanks for sharing the tip and love the new Horizon.

great job. I like all the detailed pics

What does MUF 7* mean??

Really great job!

Love the color combination and all your very clear pictures.....Thank you for sharing...:)

Red is my favorite color. Love your quilt!

You are a wonderful quilter, Gladys... Glad you got a new machine to help you achieve your dreams.

How did you stitch this?
 

Hi, can you share with us exactly how you stitched this out? I'm assuming you did some travel stitching?? Is it possible for you to post this pic with directional lines (arrows) on it to show how you traveled across the 9 - patch? It's beautiful and I need to learn how to do stuff like this as I have a 7700 too and she is way under-utilized.

your little half heart template is great....but rather than spend time doing all that marking, just go from corner to corner with a little "swoop" inbetween" and and you have done what handquilters called the wineglass (at least that is what I have been told).......you can do a whole bunch of these connected squares.....go across one, down and around to next block, across, down and around, when you get to end.....just swoop the bottoms and edge to where you began. There are places, I am sure on the web that will describe this "trip" better than I just did, but saves a lot of time ......have fun with your new "red"

I am thinking you never sleep. You have so many wonderful projects and they are always exquisite.

Hello to all!
Thank you very much for your lovely and nice words!
A big hug for each one!

Happy Birthday to you too! My date is 24! A hug!

MUF = Masterpieces under fermentation!
Better to call UFO for me!
A hug!

Hello!
I didn't do it yet. I never do a test first! Lol!: (
But I did it with a program that use (Visio), a scheme of how I think do it! I hope the scheme is understood. I did not find it on the Web to give credit to who deserves it. So I spent three days intended and at last I could solve it!!:)
Today I finished marking all the quilt, but don't have fabric for the backing!: (
I get urgent to see if I get 'something' in my city!
If I get it, tomorrow or Saturday will begin to test the quilting!
A hug!

As always, your work is beautiful....love the Lady in Red!!! Have fun!!!

Yes!
You are right! But I still not handling much the free motion to make it "Freehand", and I would like to be as even as possible! Why so many brands! Lol!
A big hug!

It's beautiful--I think I have some of those same fabrics. Thanks for sharing the photos and the quilting tip.

Hahaha!!!
Thank you very much, Quilter 65!

A hug!

Beautiful quilt!
