So I have been working on this one quilt for two and half years now. I am finally in the finishing stages, which I know my husband is jumping for joy for. I have been procrastinating for awhile on it, but it is going to cover the peak window in our house for now for a cheap and quick solution to one pane glass.
I have been trying to figure out how to do free motion quilting on my Viking #1+ without having to order the free motion foot. Well, I took the darning foot from my 64-40 and tried that. Miracle of miracles it worked. Granted it is solid so I can't see through it but that is alright for now still trying to master the free motion thing. My thread kept breaking and even though it was machine quilting thread I went back to my multi purpose sewing thread. Then I kept turning the quilt and then after about a day a some frustration it dawned on me. I don't have to turn the quilt, I just move the fabric the way I want! Wow! Was that easier when I tried that. I felt like those cartoons with the light bulb above the head.
So now I am finishing the quilting, and have to add the binding. Then I can hang it up and look at it all day!
