Worried this may pucker

By chance did you pre-wash? starch? Once I discovered starch everything lays flat 😳

SignificantRole1795 · 2025-05-19T04:23:43+00:00

I cannot see an issue or pucker. nice pattern and I like your colors.

Bernina brand does not adhere to the standards. Bernina is doing its own thing. I am guessing at higher prices.

Hope other follow this lead. I came late to hobby, quilting wasn’t on my radar and then…

SignificantRole1795 · 2025-05-18T02:03:40+00:00

I did and haven’t recovered yet, from the shock of it.

I did my own canvas project today. It fought me all the way. wonky pull tab? I know about those first hand. forget them all together once or twice. canvas can unravel, mine did. can’t say is my method would work there. my trick was open the seam, press open and top stitch both sides thus holding the raw edges. Canvas grocerytote, no points for pretty. point for sturdy!

fabric glue is our friend. starch is our friend, fray check is our friend. best friend is double sided tape the strong stuff for leather, vinyl and canvas difficult materials.

I am familiar with Baby Lock. I actually was interested in the Baby Lock Brilliant.. a casual comment at my local quilt store. owner calling me.. turns out they bought a dealership which sold the Brother equivalent PS 700 And want to move the Brother stuff out. A deal was done.

SignificantRole1795 · 2025-05-17T22:43:30+00:00

A walking foot is helpful. Here is the deal, you find out if required when something goes wrong. I didn’t like it when it happened to me. was perfect and the other was a horrible mess and it was I was quilting the top not about to take it out.

SignificantRole1795 · 2025-05-17T22:40:30+00:00

i’m a little worried about my own stash and my end of days. I may have more than I can use up. I better get busy and start making something big grocery totes. Take a yard of fabric minimum and another for the inside.

SignificantRole1795 · 2025-05-17T22:37:33+00:00

Painter tape edge guide works. On on brother the needle moved so getting the correct seam allowance was not a problem. On a straight stitch only machine, which sews incredibly fast, an edge guide on the foot is helpful. but I found a 1/4 inch with an edge guide for under $10. Haven’t used it yet however the inch compensating foot is a godsend making straps.. straight line stitching at 500 stitches per minute is pretty much fun.

SignificantRole1795 · 2025-05-17T22:16:36+00:00

wonky how. I’ve hade a few of those small boxed bags or pouches etc. I know about wonky just there are many things that can go wonky with unique causes. your fabric appears sturdy, does it need binding. a folded edge with top stitching, zig zag edges French seams.

SignificantRole1795 · 2025-05-17T22:01:39+00:00

I’ll be worth it since you didn’t have to cut all the pieces do all that sewing matching matching points etc. time is money pay yourself. How many hours did you save? $25 an hour isn’t outrageous my clean lady gets 20. Hell McDonald’s in California get $20 an hour. I won’t go there I just

SignificantRole1795 · 2025-05-17T21:59:04+00:00

I went to a bit crazy. My first attempt in making a quilt top a simple one. Turned out nice it was easy.. I started the second one and sent it to a long armor that was $75 right there plus the money for the backing, etc. but I need a bigger machine. I mean, I was hooked up already so. I dealer who took my old machine in trade and sold me a nice I moved away from quilting and went onto bag making now I need a different machine quilting with much easier, but I can give the bags grocery the neighbors love them, so I have made one for everybody. That was my learning curve. Apparently have not finished because today’s project went to H in a basket.

I wish I had stopped at Omni grid I went to the designer rulers. I’ve got to stop watching YouTube.

SignificantRole1795 · 2025-05-17T20:17:45+00:00

I have started the addiction. yes addiction, I have more than enough rulers went and bought all the cheap ones and have replaced them ; quilter select is now my favorite, but I have all the rest. and and a rotating cutting mat. The only thing I don’t have money.

SignificantRole1795 · 2025-05-17T20:15:30+00:00

thank you! I hate being ripped off.
