In 2015 what quilting technique(s).....

[buckeyequilter]

would you like to learn or become more proficient at.....mine are:

Applique - Since I'm cleaning my room I am putting some of the larger scraps in a drawer and will practice with those. I also put my freezer paper in there and will put in whatever else I might need for applique.

Machine sewn binding. I bought a binding foot earlier this year and am going to practice with that. I have some placemats that I've started and just need the binding machine stitched....may be a good place to start.

Learning to use the different stitches and feet on my machines.

I would like to become more proficient at finishing my projects and not getting side tracked every project!!!!

I want to try more quilting patterns on my quilts. I can meander with the best of them, I need to move on from this.

Would like to be more proficient at putting photos or links in my posts on the Forum - since I just 'goofed up" with the one I just did!!

I'd like to expand my FMQing as well. I can meander and stipple, do loops and swirls and a couple other really well, but in order to do anything more detailed, like feathers, I am going to have to have an extension table in place. I just have done everything to date on my Pfaff that I take to the retreat center with me and it really doesn't have enough flat surface to do feathers. So once again (or still), I am on the lookout for the "perfect" sewing table that my machine can sit down in or for a sit down quilting machine to fall into my lap.

I really want to do a stack n' whack have fabric just afraid to cut it.

Points, points, points, but what's the point? That's what I need to concentrate on.

FMQ for me--I need to get enough confidence to do it more.

In 2015 I want to become more proficient at paper piecing. Supposedly Craftsy is having Jinny Beyer do the 2015 BOM and it looks like it will be paper pieced. I am impatiently waiting for them to have a link for us to sign up for the free class.

I am hoping I can handle one block a month and will have plenty of company for encouragement and support.

You can do it! I'm finishing up my first one and it was much easier than I'd anticipated. Just make sure your seams are consistent...with the fabric pieces being identical you can tell if one of the seams is too narrow. Goof on my part, but lesson learned. Thankfully it was only one block I had to fix.



I'll be working on snowballs. Avoided them in the past, but now I have the Angler 2 to keep the seams straight.
Also need to work on my quilting. I can do loops just fine, but would like some other patterns on my quilts.
