Oh my gosh! One of the most beautiful baby quilts I have ever seen. The quilting is amazing.

Stunning....that is an incredible quilt. That could be the inspiration for people to start quilting in the first place. I know I will never be able to do anything that beautiful, but I wanted to tell you that is probably the most exquisite thing I have seen! Thank you so much for sharing it with us! INSPIRATIONAL!

Beautiful quilting. You give me hope now that I am beginning to try FMQ on my Janome 6600. So far I've only learned how hard it is to make even stitches and even harder to keep a pattern going. Do you have any good secrets to share?

Beautiful....great job :)

And it was seeing a friend making a quilt which inspired me to first start all this just over 6 years ago, so I hope in turn I can sprinkle a bit of inspiration around - we all know how much pleasure is gained from learning, then achieving a goal. |
Beautiful!!

Do lots of drawing any fmq motif, starting with meandering, stippling etc. with pencil and paper - if you can draw it, you can quilt it! Get a Sewslip mat, invaluable, and has helped me lots with control. I use Machingers gloves - they are excellent. Get a couple of modest beginners books - Maurine Noble's "Machine Quilting Made Easy" is ideal - and has loads of thread and needle info too. Later on something like "Hooked on Feathers" by Sally Terry, or "Machine Quilting" Solutions by Christine Maraccini. I bought my 6600 specifically to do my own fmq and am so pleased with the machine. I have my speed control halfway, I prefer to go slower as I get "lost" if I have it too high! It wont come instantly but before you realise, you will see big improvements in what you do - just keep practising! Oh, and r-e-l-a-x :thumbup: |
What a special keepsake quilt for this wee babe!
And too, what a sweet Grandpa to do this for her. Great job ... the 3D Pinwheels add such a special touch to your work. |
