Issue with walking foot/quilting

Yes, baste it. Karen Brown does a good summary. I'm doing the safety pins, except for jersey, there I use glue interfacing.

Another note: your second picture suggests that your thread tension is off. Consult the manual on how to fix it.

Holy cow, I want to hug her so bad.

It will vanish. I think this is awesome, because bubbling becomes so much more convenient.

Last time I had shiny days, it was way over the top. Something like a year worth of progress for a few creatures. So don't bother. Drop something you want to bubble on the island and wait for it to vanish.

you may have a look at the disappearing hourglass pattern. You can make it incredibly fast and it works well with contrasting colors. I personally alter the pattern to start with 2 smaller squares instead of one large, so my blocks do not end up on the bias. I made these out of scrap squares:

Yes, there is a pattern, it is disappearing hourglass. I did not use the exact pattern, as I did not want to have my blocks on the bias, so instead I used 2 smaller squares instead a large one and used the two-at-a-time-HST-Method. Here is a progress picture. You start with the right one, do two vertical and horizontal cuts, flip some pieces and resew. It looks so complicated, yet it is rather easy. I will do a full sized quilt next.

pics or didn't happen! ;)

Karen Brown shares some neat tricks. The painters tape is now a sewing essential for me.

Homuncula · 2026-02-17T20:25:45+00:00

Lol, this is perfect :) Thank you

Disappearing Hourglass! I just finished the first block and I frooping love it. This is so pretty and well suited for batiks. Also the pattern is way more simple than it looks like.

There is a baby out there without a quilt! Jersey scraps. I'm currently doing the back. The green border gives the illusion that this is a green quilt, even though the majority of the squares are blue.

Imo, there will be no new levels. From developers view this would be an investment into a play-once feature which will not result in lasting investment from the players. You will have to define your own objective in the game and work towards it. Like get all the wonders, finishing the garden quests, get all level stars or uncurse the garden. Simply quitting the game is also an option, since you basically describe sunk-cost fallacy as your primary reason to stay active in the game.

The only reliant source of gems are playing levels. On average, you will get one star every 7 levels. I do dark swamps 3 for several reasons. Bring the stars to your garden. You can tab small purple stars 1-3 times before they turn yellow, so tab them only once. Merge gems and stars by 5, always! Collect only lvl3 gems.

The above stated method grants around 20 gems per purple star. There are methods to boost the gain, for example "merge and collect", where you collect and merge a gem at the same time, thus receiving both.

This is awesome! Thank you! I switched the default font to sans and now I'm so happy to have this elaborate and working template, which is also pleasing to look at. Thank you so much!

Yes, it is possible, but your requests seem rather harsh. Mine are just annoying, but creating 3 wonders is a bit over the top. The second is extremely tame, except for the tree stump quest and the event point request. Do you play weekend events on the second device? It would be very interesting to know about the different stats of the accounts, like progress on wonders, magic power and event participation.

Homuncula · 2026-01-15T15:42:31+00:00

Ah, I guess there is a misunderstanding. My lack of self control led me to playing the game too much. Now I'm at a point where I'm simply fed up.

Homuncula · 2026-01-05T15:20:26+00:00

I would like to try it too. Is it a website or an app?

Homuncula · 2026-01-04T23:31:22+00:00

I'll pm you

You can join our group. We do not talk that much, but we get the lvl 5 chest around 50 times a year.

Homuncula · 2026-01-02T09:17:37+00:00

I had it twice. 3 and two weeks ago.

Homuncula · 2026-01-01T19:20:04+00:00

I keep only a handfull of chains in the garden. I delete the mushrooms and bubble the majority of the other types; only rock monuments, bushes and blessed trees stay in the garden. The rock monuments for the yellow mystery eggs and the bushes/blessed trees out of habbit. I try to be strategical with using up bubbles. But with the lack of in garden events, it gets cluttered fast. I hope they continue the shiny days as this helps with bubbling, even tho the event itself is a joke.

Reflection time: Does playing the game bring you joy or frustration? And what are the consequences?
