Ha Ha I bet you would!!! NOT Ha ha
I am learning by this. I finished up one block this morning and I THINK I got all the edges caught! I think I need my glasses changed too! Woulf probably "help" to see all the edges! The Singer 50/50 has 50 stitches on two cams. I have found some I don't like and others that I really think will catch both edges. I guess I will just have to practice, practice, practice. I do know it is habit forming! :lol:

I have had this machine for a few years and was not sure of how many they have on here for the stitches! IT says 50 different o nes! It is fun! I just need to "slow" down and keep it on the material edge better!!! :oops:

What I find so amazing is that with every change of the length and/or the width of the stitch, we can get another look to the stitch. I only have the Janome MC4000. I'm sure those of you out there who have much more can make an infinity of stitches.

Awwww...this crazy quilt looks so cozy. I would love to have a quilt like that and maybe I'll try my hand at making one like yours.

Good luck and lots of healing energy to your knee!!!
