I spent most of my weekend quilting my zigzagged quilt and posting progress on instagram.
First I started by doing a bit of stitch in the ditch of the zigzags.
Then on to FMQ of the insides of the zigzags. I did a different design on the big and little zigzags .
Then I moved on to the large open spaces in between.
And more progress..
That was until my bobbin thread started causing problems. For some reason the tension is off on the actual bobbin and the thread is just falling off. So I am going to have to unwind the whole thing and start a new bobbin in order to continue. I am also running out of thread. So I guess I am going to have to buy some more. And then get back to work because I have six more light blue big open spaces to quilt.
Oh yeah and the quilting may not be perfect but I am still enjoying the process and I am getting better. Plus once I was it, it is just going to look like crinkly fun :)

Love the FMQ it's going to be great all crinckly cozy. If the thread on the bobbin is all squishy-mushy instead of tight when you stab it with a fingernail (that's what I was taught) then put it where the thread goes and wind it onto another empty bobbin making sure the it wraps correctly around the round dial/wheel -hope that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteWow! Your quilting is lovely! I completely agree about enjoying the process even if not perfect!
ReplyDeleteYep, once you wash it, novice fmq looks absolutely fine. :) Don't you love working on a piece and seeing the improvement as you go? I've got one almost finished right now that is that way for me. I really hate that it's going to someone else, because I love getting close and looking at the progress.
ReplyDeleteYour work looks great!
ReplyDeleteLooks really good! I hope you get your sewing machine problems figured out!!
