Machine Quilting Journal #6


Machine Quilting Journal #6


Another finish: finished quilt #4 of 10. This actually was fun when I got to border and was able to do a fern feather. This is really easy: mark a serpentine vine, and then quilt feathers, all the inside and then all of the outside feathers, in a to and fro motion. Even turning the corners was fairly easy. Foto is of the back of the quilt.


Thread learning: Doing the ditch quilting on quilt #5. When I was about 90% done, I was increasingly bothered by the shiny look of the monopoly on the top of the quilt. I switched to Invisifil, a 100 wt poly by Wonderfil threads of Calgary, Canada, and the result was much better. It was in a neutral color and disappeared into the fabric and didn’t scream shiny.
