If you want to learn this here in San Antonio, I will be teaching a beginner Free Motion Quilting Class at Memories By the Yard on February 5th: Memories by the yard newsletter see page 9.
I made this pillow last week, it was a kit that I bought at our quilt show in September. It was a fun little project.
And I started a new quilting project for a friend - just because I wanted to:
Carol made this from a pre-fused kit that you may have seen in catalogs. It's beautiful, BUT, the fusible web is so stiff that my threads are breaking very often and I am finding it very difficult to quilt! I don't know how these companies expect us to quilt these projects??? Not only is the one layer stiff, but in some places there are several layers of this stiff stuff. I am determined to do this for Carol, and I will put on my big girl panties and be patient, and just keep rethreading and plugging along.
This is one reason I loooooove Misty Fuse. But heck, I have quilted through 5 layers of steam a Seam II and the lite version also. It doesn't have to be so hard...
One of the ladies from Beaumont , Anne, is the inventor of these tools: strip stick Check it out, they are so simple and yet so genius. You have to try these!
