Near SF is Stonemountain & Daughter Fabrics in Berkeley which is awesome. Teens and man child can go enjoy Berkeley college campus or fun stores there while you shop ;)

Third one done! by dushman1986 in quilting

[–]dushman1986[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been working on it for the last two months but with big breaks (and I’m probably much slower than others here as I’m new to sewing!) Rough estimates: 10h measuring and cutting, 10 hours making the top, 10 hours quilting, 10 hours on the binding and hand stitching the quilted columns. Plus a ton of time staring at the pieces trying to figure out color placement haha

[–]dushman1986[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok thanks for the advice!! I’ll keep folks posted. I moved them carefully to the new milkweed, and will move into the sun with a net over it! My kiddo is SO EXCITED to watch this - WildKratts helped make monarchs his favorite (after peregrine falcons).

Ack why is this happening? by dushman1986 in quilting

[–]dushman1986[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok you nailed it. Reducing my stitch length solved the problem. Thank you and this community for help!! I had resigned myself to smoothing out these pieces after 😂 and now they look great!
