I was being taught the handquilting part by the "quilting ladies" at my church. They would make the tops and bring them in for us all to quilt together. I was hooked the first day. On the way home I went to the store and bought the nicest fabric and the prettiest pattern I could find! My first quilt EVER was going to be a queen sized DOUBLE WEDDING RING.<br /><br />The next week when I told the quilting ladies what I was making, they all looked at me like I'd lost my mind! They said that in all their 175 years combined quilting experience, they'd never tried to make one! That was my first hint that I'd jumped in over my head, lol. Let's just say it was a quilt lesson I'll never forget! Nothing fit together no matter how many times I ripped it out and re-sewed it, and none of the women could tell me how to fix it either. So, I ended up donating all $200 worth of the fabric to the woman that made the tops. I had just gotten so frustrated that I didn't want to see that fabric ever again! She made it into something beautiful. I got to hand quilt it. It was donated to some overseas missionaries. So it was a win/win for everyone involved in the long run.<br /><br />Good luck on yours! Can't wait to see it finished!Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386858301971643234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-56970306074702587182013-10-23T15:06:55.268-04:002013-10-23T15:06:55.268-04:00I am not sure if this will work for you, but for m...I am not sure if this will work for you, but for me i went to YouTube and subscribed to Bonnie Hunters Channel.

I WAS trying to finish a flannel quilt I've been making for her, but between my Singer 222k (with walking foot) skipping stitches, my "Loren", Necchi Supernova for which I can't find a walking foot, I ran out of time... oh well...- can't have everything, you know?? Do you have any ideas on a walking foot for the Necchi?? I know you were also having trouble with your "Sophia". I'd be chuffed if you can advise me. Thanks honey.
