I posted the problems I had on Saturday with a couple of pictures. There were a few other mistakes that I didn't post pics of.

Someone I "know" is featured!! Snoopy Dance. <br /><br />Sorry - this has nothing to do with ugly stitches but I couldn't contain myself. I am so proud of you! I hope this isn't too weird but it felt as if one of my own had been singled out for her excellence. Your blogging and open sharing has made me feel this close to you.

You have the links to those blog entries already (and thank you for all the traffic you direct my way). Unfortunately, in a rare fit of non-hoarding, I've thrown them out! You are welcome to have my photos, if that helps.<br />RonaRonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537721460020471673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-8581712081612401542012-01-10T16:40:48.539-05:002012-01-10T16:40:48.539-05:00I can send you my absolute first FMQ stitches ever...I can send you my absolute first FMQ stitches ever. I mean the very first time I ever put that foot on my machine and stitched, cuz it was today. :-) There are examples of inconsistent stitch length and either a tension issue or my hands and feet not being in sync. I haven't played again to figure it out. The pics are on my blog, if you'd like that sample just let me know.Dawnmarie's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06033691473942743491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-12607662052351555342012-01-10T12:41:02.917-05:002012-01-10T12:41:02.917-05:00What a perfect idea Leah - honest, true and realis...What a perfect idea Leah - honest, true and realistic, showing quilting for beginners in it's truest sense<br />If I have any bloopers I'll keep them and send them over to youAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05386852386404591819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-45912204064385773742012-01-10T11:54:46.047-05:002012-01-10T11:54:46.047-05:00Hi Cathy - That sounds great!

Lindsay Nixon (The Happy Herbivore) is asking people on her blog to send her their recipes for her new recipe book and she is asking for signed waiver for each recipe - giving her permission to use their recipe. That seems silly to have to do for "ugly stitches" that someone is just gonna throw away, but might protect you... Something to think about. Here's her blog entry w/copy of the signed waiver http://happyherbivore.com/2012/01/your-recipe-in-my-ckbk/Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128981465391493115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-73217512801653040082012-01-10T11:44:48.940-05:002012-01-10T11:44:48.940-05:00I want to save my first stitching so I can remembe...I want to save my first stitching so I can remember how far I have come, but I do have photos I could email to you, if that works.
