Get a good grip on the quilt...I use gardening gloves with the rubber dots on the fingers/palms. Most importantly...feed dogs down! Haha...I learned that the hard way.<BR/><BR/>Also, sometimes loops are easier because you can cross over your own stitching lines. If you do a wandering pattern, you should try not to cross your lines. <BR/><BR/>Take breaks because your shoulders will get tired and your eyes will get all crazy from staring at the needle. :)<BR/><BR/>Oh, and try to avoid the birds nest by pulling your bottom thread to the top...like you do when you change a bobbin only you do it after the quilt is under the needle. Then you can keep track of both threads and they won't get tangled up.<BR/><BR/>And just have fun. This quilt is for you and a few uneven, jagged, wonky stitching lines will not ruin this beautiful quilt. I promise.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16246323377929476660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4769361914634034750.post-44515479758560593262009-03-26T14:42:00.000-07:002009-03-26T14:42:00.000-07:00Thanks we shall see.
