I have a pair of machingers and love them. <br />I might try the presencia thread now that i know where to get it :) I'll be interested to see how it affects your seam allowances. <br />those storage units are great arn't they! the ones you got should hold a lot! I have a set of smaller ones,but its very tall, I got it at a garage sale and i use it for fat quarters and other pre cuts like charm packs etc.<br /><br />Have you read ahead to class 180 where we do the borders? I have been trying to figure out if we are supposed to add borders , then move on the final exam? or add borders, quilt and bind then on to the final? or what?<br />I have emailed to Harriet and Carrie last week and again on sunday with no response :( <br />what do you think we are meant to do?<br /><br />cheers<br /> <br /><br />Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11339775335027506713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734655829281418892.post-51932885544436351142013-02-26T19:04:08.391-07:002013-02-26T19:04:08.391-07:00Oh Yes!

They are fairly easy. I did a nice free motion continuous heart pattern on my son's twin quilt on the border. It was the very first one I did and it turned out ok! I'm really looking forward to doing more of that. <br /><br />The last quilt I made was a queen (my first post), and I wasn't even going to consider doing it myself, so I sent it out. I don't want to ever have to do that again. <br />1. It was expensive. <br />2. It came back wonderful, but it didn't feel like it was mine. <br />3. I want to do the quilt from start to finish.<br />So, I'm working my way through both books.. Quilter's Academy for the piecing, and Machine Quilting and a few other resources for the quilting. <br /><br />I hope you get inspired to work at it some more.. I'm convinced that we can do this with just our regular ole DSM's.

I can't wait to see you learning to quilt on your Pfaff machine. I have tried a few times but not much success at free motion. I still just do straight stitch with my walking foot on small projects. Big quilts go to the longarmer. You may inspire me to try again. SandraBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06380829542849950133noreply@blogger.com
