I consider touching my quilts with a machine the greatest kind of sacrilege. that is until i saw your blog and saw all the fun designs you can make with a machine that just wouldnt work quite right by hand, so i dusted off my machine (gift from my grandma) and got out some fabric and batting and tried. if i went to slow my stitches were massive, if i went too fast my machine shook like a possessed monkey on crack. after an hour of trying to make a simple circle i came to the conclusion that machines hate me as much as i do them and returned to my comforting size 9 hand needle. what am i doing wrong?Megan Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13614514635009883526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-71273739614991024032010-08-30T02:30:11.301-04:002010-08-30T02:30:11.301-04:00Leah, just been over to read the interview, great ...Leah, just been over to read the interview, great job!You seem very down to earth, open and honest.<br />Thanks for sharing.Leeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17616599642690765779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-36947146079066239542010-08-30T00:07:56.468-04:002010-08-30T00:07:56.468-04:00Hi Leah, as a 'baby boomer' I loved your i...Hi Leah, as a 'baby boomer' I loved your interview - and as a new quilter I loved your interview.... very pleased to hear that I don't 'need' one of those huge machines and that with more practice my quilting can be fantastic.... thanks for all the ideas....<br />Hugz<br />FionaBubzRugzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15470267737721805408noreply@blogger.com
