Got off work early today, so I decided to clean the long-arm room and the office desk. I really needed to clean it out due to there was a growing collection of dust and cobwebs, I didn't even know was there. It looks great in there now. When I was done with my cleaning, I decide to go into the sewing room to trim all the sides on the Wine Bottle wall hanging I have been working on. I had finished the quilting on it late last night. During this project I have learned a few things along the way.
First off I learned I needed to use either double batting or a high loft batting when I want items or designs to stand out. I used a low loft poly batting on this wall hanging and you can barely see the the quilting I did on it.
Another thing i found is that I need to learn more control of the machine on some of the free handing designs. My control is much better than when I first started, just will take some more practice and time. I do feel a lot more comfortable working with rulers. I also feel my meandering of "L's and "e's" got much better and I am more confident in making them go in different directions.
This project was a good test of my abilities in the front of the machine. I have learned a lot and will keep practicing. Tina
