My Brother machine doesn't need much cleaning and I  certainly never use oil anywhere near it.

Making progress with my quilt

If it is to be a hated by me wallhanging it doesn't need to be densely quilted.
Support the quilt all round and use a walking foot as Iminei says.

Lovely @Sheilago .

What a shame @Bjay  :hug:D
I'll be making inroads into my offcut pile to make some of the final 10 blocks for my quilt.
Must work out which colours / tones need boosting  ::thinks::

Looking good @Bjay  :thumb:

I buy cheap scissors and use them for everything ( including paper  :ninja: )
I use a rotary cutter (45mm ) for cutting fabric

I don't have a stash per se. I buy for the next,specific project and try not to over estimate the amount needed.
But
Sometimes I am given pressies of fqs and sometimes I have fabric left over from a project.
I only keep pieces bigger than a fat eighth
the smaller bits go for shoddy or are used in rag rugs.
This quilt is made from gifted fqs and leftover fes.
Now I've explained myself @Iminei  may I ask how your offering for this sewalong is progressing?...pics please  :devil:
It's good to see some activity on The Darkside, let's get as many participants as we can  :thumb:

However, I found it an interesting browse. Thanks

I'm beavering away at my blocks, here's a sample  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  . I now have 22 out of 36  :faints: I'm hoping to find enough dark fabrics to make sashing and odd coloured bits for cornerstones.
I'm off to look to see if I have enough light blues for a couple of blocks........ :sew:
