I LOVE it... it's the Ti2000. I have a cheapo Singer from Sam's, and it's like night and day. It's so easy to piece accurately, and fast, and I can actually do real quilting on it. The knee lift has changed my life...

Wow, I feel overwhelmed having 2 projects going at once plus 1 not even started yet! How do you decide which one to work on and how long does it take you to get one finished? I hope you don't mind my questions.

That's the way I've always been, I'm a multitasker, I have a million different hobbies ranging from sculpting, drawing and painting, to graphic design, pretty much all of the fiber arts, gaming, cooking, writing, etc. Quilting is taking most of my free time these days. I think having so much going on at once feeds my creativity- since I'm juggling so many things in my head, my brain has to be flexible and often comes up with news ways of combining ideas.

Although.... maybe I just have undiagnosed ADD... :P

Love all your quilts. I noticed how nice your quilting is and you are doing it on a juki and you have marked your pattern. Do you find it easier to follow a line and what do you use to mark? Are you just drawing or stencils? I have not been able to master FMQ yet and am struggling
