Well that didn't go very well
I've got a proper stitch in the ditch foot and although the blade was exactly in the ditch it certainly wasn't stitching in it
ended up unpicking what i'd done and decided that i would just FMQ, it's not perfect, some stitches are longer than others in places but hey it's my first quilt and you've got to start somewhere. It's not like its for someone else
.
The throat on my machine isn't that big, DH asked if they did machines with larger throats
oh yes i said (new machine excuse lurking round the corner
) and it was difficult manoeuvering it around, how on earth do you do big quilts
I've stopped now as the light is going, will restart tomorrow and see if i can improve my method, not sure if it's better pushing the quilt backwards or forwards :thinking:
