This week we are giving away a gorgeous giant spool of Kreinik Fashion Twist Machine Sewing Thread in the beautiful sparkly shade of Jade. It’s a mint green and silver twist and it’s awesome!
This week’s winner is from the Free Motion Quilting Tutorial & Video post. Natalie wrote:
On my Bernina 1260 I keep my feed dogs up but use a slider otherwise I have tension issues. I bought my slider from daystyledesigns.com. I purchased it as a set with quilting gloves and bobbin sliders which I also recommend.
Also, the picture showing the darning foot shows the thread on top of the foot but I have to thread mine through the loop and hold with the bobbin thread to avoid it getting caught and knotted underneath.
As far as not crossing stitches, I think it’s ok. In my opinion it’s an antiquated rule and there are plenty of designs out there that require you to cross stitches. Check out Leah Day’s blog for 365 (250 at the moment) free motion quilting designs.
I am so glad that you wrote this post and hope that others try quilting now. I am the founder of my local modern quilt guild which is part of the broader network of modern guilds. Check out themodernquiltguild.com for more information on modern quilting đŸ™‚
