It does add an extra 2 steps to quilting your quilt - quilting the motifs and then clipping the batting. I've updated the Heart and Feather project into a much more detailed workshop which you can find here: http://leahday.com/products/heart-wholeclothLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674869334249298532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-69218819531916296222016-06-28T09:02:54.591-04:002016-06-28T09:02:54.591-04:00how hard is it to do trapunto quilting and does it...how hard is it to do trapunto quilting and does it take a long time?Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681438177304207853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-38182214509098910762016-01-17T00:32:11.891-05:002016-01-17T00:32:11.891-05:00Hi, I have been sewing for over 40 years.

I sometimes see ideas and try to make it I'm pretty good at seeing something and can duplicate it. <br />I had an experience making a childs quilt, I made it of course it wasn't exactly like the one I sewed, as everyone has thier own technique. The person saw it on the selling site, and wrote me a nasty gram to stop making them as it was her IP, can they stop me from selling my own design, although it was inspired by a picture someone showed me. I Love sewing challenges so I made it. It came out great. Now what do I do in this case.honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220704404726714148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-1838197488841294912012-04-03T11:30:51.919-04:002012-04-03T11:30:51.919-04:00Hola Leah, soy Jacquelin (link no.2) y si vas a ve...Hola Leah, soy Jacquelin (link no.2) y si vas a ver mi blog verás que yo usé el papel de seda (método que tu proponías como uno de los muchos posibles) y funcionó muy bien. El mayor problema con el que me he encontrado ha sido que al pasar por donde ya había cosido, a veces, el papel se rompe y se levanta un poco impidiendo ver exactamente por donde hay que pasar. Aun con esto creo que ha quedado estupendamente y cuando te lo muestre con microstippling ya verás. Gracias por tus consejos, tus diseños y todo el tiempo que nos dedicas a los que estamos ansiosos por aprender más, más y mejorar nuestras habilidades en el acolchado libre.Jacquelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921160597442955055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-43796391365087496882012-03-29T21:17:44.706-04:002012-03-29T21:17:44.706-04:00I have the Bernina 1230 and bought the new 57 foot...I have the Bernina 1230 and bought the new 57 foot for it. My seams were too scant and the pieces of blocks don't fit together. I went back to the 37 foot.<br /><br />I prefer piecing on my Janome Gem Gold with their patchwork foot.

I'm thinking of a Janome Horizon and wonder how you like yours?Angie in SoCalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689281551068732574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-44493998006077072592012-03-29T15:58:37.842-04:002012-03-29T15:58:37.842-04:00Thank you, Leah for your detailed explaination on ...Thank you, Leah for your detailed explaination on using a different thread. I just curious like "Curious George" eager to learn FMQ :-). <br />You're are wonderful teacher.<br />I always thought there was something more into what you're doing. That's why I even wanted to wait for your tutorial on microstippling to finish my quilt.<br /><br />Thanks again!<br />MaliniMalinisQuiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11405486129583765748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-51258809823346920802012-03-29T15:37:54.078-04:002012-03-29T15:37:54.078-04:00Hi Leah, Oh no....I was hoping you would answer th...Hi Leah, Oh no....I was hoping you would answer the question I e-mailed to you in this week's "Question Thursday". I'm going to ask it again here in the hope that you might have a moment or two to respond:<br /><br />I have a question about FMQ. I noticed you, as well as, a few podcasters I listen<br />to, mention that you do free motion quilting without dropping your feed dogs.<br /><br />I don't understand how that is possible. When I set my machine up for FMQ the feed dogs automatically drop. I don't have a choice & I did review my<br />manual to see if that was an option and I don't see anything about it. I have a Pfaff Creative Vision.<br /><br />If I try to FMQ when the machine is not actually set for FMQ <br />(as it would be for regular sewing) I can not move the fabric even if I set the presser foot<br />at the lightest pressure.<br /><br /> Help! What am I doing wrong? Or is my machine just not capable of doing this.<br /><br />-debby<br />crowefan0517@yahoo.comDebby, crowefan0517https://www.blogger.com/profile/03173099763603663526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-23055388112502855052012-03-29T12:00:13.236-04:002012-03-29T12:00:13.236-04:00I read your posts fairly quickly so I may have mis...I read your posts fairly quickly so I may have missed it BUT I didn't see an explanation of what "ruined" The Duchess.
