After doing a straight line through the queen sized quilt, I understood why people starting doing curves and different things, and I think that is when I decided to learn machine quilting.
You will see ....
you will start simple, then you will start branching out, then you will start experimenting ... it is a process <g> we all go through it to one degree or another, and it is a necessary part of becoming proficient in anything.

I am definitely very excited to start trying this....I just need to make something to practice with first! most likely a pot holder or baby quilt but we are heading to Disney in a couple of weeks and I still have a couple of dresses I need to make my daughter so those are first! then back to the quilting. it's so much fun, I love it more than making clothes because i HATE zigzagging all the edges w/ dresses and skirts. I don't have a surger :cry:
