Bamboo FMQ almost done!

[Swedish leo]

Hi

To day I have been fmquing all day long with lots of breaks.

This bamboo batting is great. I have been using my small white singer sewingmachin that only have a 6" throat space. My beloved black singer is at the sewingmachine doc. And are not coming home for at least 2 Weeks!

It is so much easier with this batting to fit in all of the quilt in my machine.
I do not have to fight the bulk hardly at all. Compared to the poly batting where I had to strongarm the quilt to get in position.

Of course I had to make it as hard as possible for me. as I always do!

I choosed a new pattern to me by Amy Johnsson.
It is a flower she showed on youtube.

It worked great until I got to quilt on the light fabrics. I could not see were I sticht before!!! Grrr...

So there are lots of misstakes in this quilt. But I figure, If I cant see the stitches neither will anyone else! ;-)

Some thing to be alert about is seam intersections. They can make you shift directions due to bulk.
Learn that the hard way. After that lesson I learned to quilt around them.

With poly batting this is not so much of a problem beacuse they sink in to the batting.
But since the bamboo is so much flatter they are something to take in consideration.

All in all I am super happy about this bamboo batting.

Here are some pictures. Front and back and close up
( sorry about the bad pictures, it is late in the evening so the ligth is not so god.)

Tell me what you think
