    Well, I just started FMQ on a baby quilt today, again using the King Tut that I had such trouble with on the last quilt. This has gone flawlessly. Same machine, same thread as last time, but with a...

    3 square corners and a handle? I am still laughing about this! I wince each time I look at my first quilt. It hangs on my sewing room wall to remind me of how far I've come in 35 years.

    I have used the Warm and Toasty. I'm not sure, but I think those two are similar, as they are both made by Fairfield. I love the Warm and Toasty, so I suspect you will be happy with what you have...

    Sunbonnet Sue. Ugh. Not sure if anyone even makes that one anymore. I love applique, but that one's too cutesy for me.

    A finish entirely from stash!

    I just finished glue-basting the Tiny Houses quilt (pattern from Missouri Star) that I completed from stash. Each house uses such small pieces, and it was so much fun to throw a huge variety in...

    My difficulty is with the tension, I think. The bobbin thread in places looks as if it is just a straight thread being held in place by the top stitches coming through the quilt. Wish I could post a...

    DSM vs longarm

    Is it reasonable to expect FMQ on a domestic machine to look as good as quilting on a longarm? Over the years that I have been quilting on my 1008 Bernina mechanical I have never been able to get...

    I do pieceing on my Janome, FMQ on the Bernina, and string pieceing on the vintage Viking which belonged to my mother. So each machine has its own particular function so to speak, and each gets used...

    Does your sewing machine like/dislike certain threads?

    I have spent a frustrating two weeks struggling to FMQ my latest quilt. I began using a cone of "Brand A" 40 weight thread. It has been a disaster. This is a brand with a reputation for quality. ...

    Way back in the day, when I was basting my first quilt, I had it all spread out on the floor. When I finished, I discovered I had sewn it to the carpet.

    I have a Bernina, a vintage Viking - Husqvarna, and a Janome Jem Platinum. The Jem is by far my favorite. I love the needle up/down feature and the (albeit limited) speed control. And I think it...

    FMQ tension setting

    When I took a FMQ class some time back, the instructor told us to loosen the top tension on the machine. When I do that, loops from the top thread show on the bottom, rather than the top and bobbin...

    You betcha I pre-wash. Everything. Like colors go together in the washer, and anything that's a medium value or darker goes in with a color catcher. I repeat the washes with additional color...

    Isn't there a variation of Double Wedding Ring that actually uses flat-sided pieces rather than curves? I wonder if that would be acceptable.
