Do you have the drawing, tracing paper, and the quilt all sandwiched as you needle punch, or is it just the drawing and tracing paper, and there's another step to transfer the design to the fabric? Yes, I know this is such an elementary question, please indulge me!lindaroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13378726866013609136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-56666841034607561272011-10-04T13:12:56.656-05:002011-10-04T13:12:56.656-05:00Very impressive quilting!

I love making buttonholes on mine-even with newer fancy machines that's the one I do them on. So what if the thread is gray from a marker-do the rest of the lines the same so it all works and finish that nice quilt. I may try some free motion on my 930 after seeing what a great job you are doing on yours. Did you get a walking foot with your 930? I really like it for straight line quilting on that machine or any time I get a lot of layers when sewing. mssewcrazyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-16679046482384084942011-10-04T12:24:11.754-05:002011-10-04T12:24:11.754-05:00What a wonderful post, Lane!

It's terrific to see your evolution through so many quilts and I can't wait to see your holiday quilt as it progresses.<br /><br />Don't be afraid to contrast your thread color from the fabric color - this will allow your motifs to stand out better and show off equally with the other elements of the quilt. Just keep experimenting, playing, and having fun - that is what machine quilting is all about!<br /><br />LeahLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674869334249298532noreply@blogger.com
