Can anyone tell me about this. I read in the blog that someone uses this method all the time as it is easy and always looks good. Thanks!

It is very easy. Do you have a darning or free motion foot? You will need that.

[sally]

Not sure. I will have to look though not sure what I am looking for. I didn't buy this machine so not sure what came with it. What do they look like. The tools not the machine. I know what that looks like...lol

Did you get a book with it? If not, the company might send you one if you ask. That should tell you what each foot is.

I am going to look when I get home. FRIDAY!!! Jan FRIDAY!!! Did you make the blueberry muffins?

[janluna]

No, Joe couldn't find any. We'll get them tomorrow cause now I have a craving!!
On your machine, what kind is it? Mine is a singer. At any rate my darning foot looks like a shank with a small circle that the needle goes through. I wish I could send a picture. It doesn't look like a normal open toed foot or a 1/4" foot. I hope this helps. Am I making sense? lol

I googled it and I see what you mean. I don't think i have one but then i have 3 sewing machines. Long story. One was in my hubby's family, one I bought , one is a singer hand crank from 1919 and another 1940's singer. Hopefully one should have something...lol I can't have muffins yet because of this blasted restricted diet.. but I can have homemade granolia bars so i am going to make them tonight though I would rather have a muffin ... sigh!

I did stippling on the quilt I hand quilted. I used a stencil to mark my quilt. I plan on using my machine to do it too. I like it and it is an easy pattern.

You can tell I am new but what kind of pencil do I use for marking a pattern on my quilt?

[Dragonfly]

I have a preference for chalk pencils but be aware that they rub off fairly easily (in fact the reason why I like them) so best to only mark the area you are immediately working in, if possible. Stay away from the blue etc quilt marking pens, they are evil. I won't use anything with chemicals in on my quilts, no one knows what the impact on the fabric will be in 20 years time and I want mine to last way longer than that. Do not use normal pencils either, thay have a graphite base normally and will not remove from fabric. Oh and some of the newer marking pens/pencils are wax based be cautious of those as well.

Sorry I'm fussy.
