    I CAN make a quilt to hug them when I am not around..
    I totally agree with you..if it would be perfect I would not want them dragging it around..but I don`t have to worry about that...

    Slow is the answer, however, continue taking out your pins!!!!! Not only you can break your needle but a piece of it can go down into the machine. Ask me how I know LOL (expensive trip to the shop)

    I think we all do this at one time or another. I was making a baby quilt and had to hunt and piece whatever I had on hand and I think I ripped seams every other one. Now to top it off I finished sewing the binding on Sat. and washed it to be ready for Sunday and I was checking to make sure there were no strings and low and behold I hate it. the is big place where the binding and the quilt did not do right. Why do we not see these things ahead of time?

    I use my pressure foot as a guide, I do pretty well. However, if I start going too fast, not so good. I also wish that machines would have a beep or light to tell you when the bobbin is about to run out.

    No I don't sew straight, in fact I once met a blind lady who sewed straighter than I.
