Just mark your lines and go for it!<br /><br />Let's go quilt!<br /><br />Leah DayLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674869334249298532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-15537224097672702742009-09-19T22:47:16.583-04:002009-09-19T22:47:16.583-04:00Just came across you blog about ALL these differen...Just came across you blog about ALL these different stitches. Boy, am I glad I spent some time here, LOL!!! I have not had the guts to machine quilt yet (been tying them) but hope to gain the confidence to try soon (even own the gloves already). As I watched your videos I noticed your cloth was NOT basted down. HOW do you keep the fabric from shifting?! How big are the (stitch-boxed) blocks you work in?<br /><br />TIA, Janice M.Janice M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-64303859538086302002009-09-07T13:17:04.093-04:002009-09-07T13:17:04.093-04:00Erin - That's a great idea!

I'm actually planning on having downloadable drawings soon so you can practice the movement or even transfer the designs using a lightbox.<br /><br />Thanks Shasta! I love sharing the designs and all the people I'm helping with free motion quilting. <br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />LeahLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674869334249298532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-42547352448068671892009-09-05T19:55:26.264-04:002009-09-05T19:55:26.264-04:00I just discovered your blog.

I'd love to be able to see larger images of the fronts and backs when I click on the photos though.<br /><br />I think you have actually inspired me to give free motion quilting a try.<br /><br />~ErinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
