I know how to hand quilt, but not something this size. I think its a double or a queen. When you have some free time (ROFL!!!) could you teach us how you hand quilt a large quilt. I cant do it in a large frame. I have to hold it in my hands or use a smaller frame. <BR/><BR/>Do I just baste and start in the middle and work my way out? How do you draw your Baptist fans? Do you have a pattern or a template? <BR/><BR/>If you dont have time to answer this, thats fine. I know youre a busy woman. <BR/><BR/>My apostrophe key is not working. Im not typing bad grammar on purpose.

And it handles the BIG cones of thread with ease. It spoils you for other machines. The machine fits in a Hemline Trolley Bag for traveling. It has a handle that extends and nice wheels!<BR/>I love green. I have lots. Lets do green it goes with everything (pink, purple,beige,blue/orange/coral).<BR/>And I have been saving my triangles. Now I have a working title for that plastic bin. "Future Pineapples" <BR/>I still have another bin with the waste half square triangles.

Although the Singer I learned to sew on has the knee attachment that makes the machine sew! I hadn't even used it for decades and when I first used my Bernina had to stop using my knee to try to start sewing. Some muscle memory! <BR/>This machine really does look perfect for paper piecing!Lorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14378229521840536213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-88142963997482625202009-02-16T12:46:00.000-05:002009-02-16T12:46:00.000-05:00I'm so glad you shared your video for Lucy with al...I'm so glad you shared your video for Lucy with all of us to see too - fun! :) <BR/><BR/>and that WOW that Dave let out didn't sound sarcastic to me ;) I think deep down he's just jealous that his hobby stuff doesn't have some super cool machine or feature.

I have the knee lift on my Berninas, but no thread cutter. Now that I'm making string pieced stars, I can see how that would be a great feature to have. <BR/><BR/>Not a fan of paper piecing because I don't like tearing off the paper. (Though I am using paper as my foundation for the diamonds in my stars.) Have you ever used that dissolving foundation paper? I'm wondering if it could be left in the quilt and would it dissolve from the inside during the first washing.Catholic Bibliophagisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10697706672495544901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-25348874296011205942009-02-16T00:13:00.000-05:002009-02-16T00:13:00.000-05:00I have been looking at purchasing this machine as ...I have been looking at purchasing this machine as well as a couple of others.
