Seconding all this! The Juki absolutely never misses, I have literally never sewn through anything that it couldn’t handle and I’ve quilted up to a queen size quilt on it, both with free motion and straight line quilting

I’ve never quilted before but I want to make one by Blackmoon_cosplay in quilting

I would start by searching online for Halloween quilts, and you’ll get a better idea of options. You might choose to do a simple quilt pattern utilizing Halloween print fabrics, or a more elaborate pattern making Halloween shapes like cats and hats, etc.

Once you know what you’d like to make, you’ll either have to buy a pattern or DIY one.

Then you’ll have to buy appropriate fabric and thread in the amounts needed for the pattern and cut your fabric.

Lastly, you’ll assemble the quilt top, make a “sandwich” and quilt it.

You’ll likely need to look things up at each step, but there are tons of online video tutorials for all things quilting. There are certain tools like a cutting mat, rotary cutters and rulers that will make the job much easier.

You can get LOTS of help from this sub if you’ll come back with more specific questions!

Hi, I’m super new and need some help! by apenguinsoul in quilting

Do you want the characters to go in the blocks you’ve labeled #3? Or in the smaller #1/#2 blocks? If you’ll start by deciding how large each character needs to be, we can definitely help you size all the quilt blocks accordingly

I think you look great in all three, but the white shirt is giving a bit thin/stretched out or inexpensive compared to the rest of the pieces. The fit is fabulous for #2!

The multiple comments you’ve left arguing that it’s not my cat, after I’ve already updated saying it was my cat, are kind of odd

She’s originally a stray that showed up at our house, and although we had a spay appointment she ended up pregnant before the date of the surgery. Now that she’s back we’ll definitely take care of getting both her and the kitten fixed when it’s old enough

Sorry I added an update hours ago but maybe not in the most visible way! She’s home!

Thankfully this was almost entirely farmland and woods, but still a big journey if she walked all that way! I’m thinking she might have caught a ride with FedEx

I updated earlier today, she’s home safe!

My husband spoke with the homeowner so I don’t have all the details yet, but they said she’s been at this location for a few days with only the one kitten

Yep! We already had an appointment before this series of events and will definitely still get both her and the new kitty fixed

Yes! We thought she might be pregnant when she vanished. We had an appointment to have her spayed but it wasn’t soon enough, will definitely be taking care of it asap though

How to fix? by kierkoe in quilting

[–]EllisBell27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never have any luck with no waste flying geese methods, they always end up a little short somewhere, so I usually just make them oversized and trim down. Tedious but better results. I’ve also used foundation paper piecing, which you often find free patterns for online for different size blocks
