I like it! And I like the quilting pattern against the straight edges of the piecing.

Everyone is different but when I got the loops on the back I set my tension as high as it would go and used a bobbin washer with a metal bobbin. When I used the plastic bobbin I got the loops. Here's a picture of the washers and I won't do anything without them. Just Google them and it will bring up all sorts of sites where they're available. I found just the right speed and it's easier for me if the machine is running fairly fast. Good luck and keep trying! :thumbup:

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh I hope he doesn't continue with wanting to paint his room orange! :shock: So what part of SEMO did you grow up in? I'm about 20 miles from the Arkansas state line.

I told my son about all the Vols fans here and he said, "They know what team to support." Come to think of it....that kid would bleed orange. LOL!!
