For those of you who, like me, are trying free motion quilting please read Sweet P's great tip on a recent post. You can find it here. I can hardly wait to try this one!
Thanks so much for passing this tip along. I've tried the free motion thing and typically end up quite frustrated as it's not as nice as I would like. I'm going ot give this a try! You should be receiving a package sometime this week. I finally mailed it Friday morning. Sorry for the delay. No excuses, just couldn't get my act together. :(
Paper towels for practice pieces. I never would have come up with that trick. I think it is a great idea. Thanks for sharing it.

I LOVE that tip! I have been avoiding practicing because I didn't want to waste quilt sandwiches - this idea has set me free! LOL
ReplyDeleteI use paper towels a lot, when I am cleaning, oiling, and test sewing with orphan sewing machines. Saves on wasting that valuable fabric!
ReplyDeleteGreat tip! I have been thinking of doing a sewing tip post this week too. I've heard/read a couple of good ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this tip. I'm having trouble with some of my stitchings as well. This is a great help.
ReplyDeleteVery practical tips. And helpful.. I will try on the paper towel practice.
ReplyDeleteI don't do machine quilting at all as you know...but perhaps when my fingers fall apart this would be a great thought...mmmm tyou..
