ORGANIC


The other day a patient told me she was referred to me because someone told her I was "earthy."  That I am.  Does earthy also mean organic?  I don't know.  I think that my quilting is quite "organic" on this quilt.


I have been having tons of fun.  I am more relaxed with the machine, even when the needle gets stuck and the  machine screams at me until I turn it off.  I don't know why it happens, the needle  won't move.  The red light comes on and then the alarm sounds.  It is piercing.  I have to shut off the machine and manually move the needle out of the fabric.  It has happened a few times.  I changed the needle and thought that would fix the problem.  It didn't.

I am using blue, green and white thread on this quilt, which means I am re-threading it A LOT.

I think it will be fine.  I am giving this quilt to a dear friend.  She will be very forgiving, I am sure.  I must remember, I am still a novice but gaining with every stitch.

    I think your quilting is fine, too! I really like your feathers and petals; they're free and fun.

    Very nice! Are you in stitch regulated mode? I just traded to a NoltingPro. My old machine didn't have stitch regulator so I'm curious.

      I use Stitch Regulation for the ruler work. Every thing else is in regular mode. I prefer it to stitch regulation. I had stitch regulation on the Bailey and when I stopped using it, I had better results. I do think SR is important, though, and have no regrets on the investment.
