My attempt of freehand machine quilting. |
My first attempt to try something other than stippling and wavy lines. I can see how machine quilters get easily absorbed into various patterns and designs. This was actually a lot of fun!
I even tried binding with machine.
I tried!
I went back to hand stitching the binding on my second quilt.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful happy quilts made for beautiful happy babies!! Im up for a little scrappy challenge, What do you have in mind?
ReplyDeleteYour machine stitching looks great!
ReplyDeleteI am itching for a new project (:
Machine binding takes practice. I learned on Katrina quilts. On the Bernina I use the edge foot, and on the Juki, the walking foot works well. Don't give up.
ReplyDeleteBuffy,
ReplyDeleteI am going to try to stick to machine binding for some quilts. It's a big help, I noticed!
It's always good to expand your horizons. As they say practice, practice, practice. It's SO TRUE.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to hand stitch the binding on. It's quite soothing. But then all aspects of quilting are soothing to me.
I did scrappy for blocks for mini quilts in January. It was fun, and turned out great.
