One of the thing I love about long arm quilting is that your improvement rate is exponential. In fact, I can tell which end of practically any quilt I started quilting because the other end looks so much better. Anyway, this was my first try quilting feathers, and I wanted to document the occasion. They look way better than I had anticipated. By the time I finish this 4 yard piece of practice fabric, I'm thinking I'll be ready to use real fabric.
Oh, and regarding the photo-- please ignore the gimp feather on the right. You know the one. I ran out of thread there and apparently I messed up my mojo. Oh, and ignore my chalk lines. But hey, pretend this was on a busy piece of fabric. It would look 1000 times better, I'm sure!
Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous feathers!
ReplyDeleteI love your feathers. They look perfect and would look great on a quilt.
ReplyDeleteMy machine free-motion quilting is going along okay. Not good enough to show on the blog though!! :o)
Love your feather quilting! I just saw a tutorial on paisley quilting, which was similiar, but on a regular sewing machine. I really want to try this. Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog, I love finding new quilting friends :)
