I have a very simple Janome but it has those type stitches and I rarely use them. I'm already planning my next quilt to have a solid binding so that it could show off this kind of stitch. I bet it takes a bunch of pinning though to get it to all work out correctly, but it would keep me from handstitching the binding down.

But, I have done things like this also, and just needed time out. Your quilt is beautiful and your pillow shams couldn't be cuter! Your binding is excellent! Wow! Fantastic job on the whole quilt. Have not tried using a sheet for the back, but what a great idea. Might try that later myself.

I quilt on an older machine, and the feed dogs don't drop. It makes it much harder on YOU to quilt with the dogs up, but not the machine.

Like, I am so impressed, I am blown away. Free motion, are we now?! Gnomes? Too entirely cute!!! Multi-color binding with multi-color thread, you teach me something all the time, never heard of it. And what about those * stitches! I'm going to look on my Janome in a minute to see if I can make those! The gray sheet just simply rocks, the quilting swiggles rock - the whole thing is positively amazing. I'm not making it up ... amazing. And re: your question, yes I am doing the Lori Holt from Bee in my Bonnet Quilty Fun quilt-along right now and it is challenging me out of my head, like it takes me three days to make one 8x8 patch. But, yes, I am very determined as a person, and although I have literally ... literally! ... torn out every seam I've put in, I will not quit!!! Cuz you and me, we're just like that, we just don't quit. And totally off topic, have you read "Wild" by Cheryl Strayer? I got it at the library and it's pretty great. And it's a NYT Best Seller. And since you're not too far from NY and all ... oh yeah, that has nothing to do with it. Well, I'm a chatterbox little woman today, let me stop and leave room for someone else to make a comment :)<br />Great Job, Bee ~ MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8089227595191821356.post-34510000640156552632014-02-17T15:58:13.068-05:002014-02-17T15:58:13.068-05:00I have a confession to make.

It needs to be long armed though, it's mahusive, and I've been too lazy to get the back pieced and go to Stirling to the machine...<br /><br />Yours does look fab though, and love the wee gnoma cushion - you'll be pleased to know that there are some people that swear by FMQ-ing with their feed dogs up, I think it just depends on your machine, mine won't actually let me!Katy Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374079358515448439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8089227595191821356.post-36340947867918270232014-02-17T14:52:08.679-05:002014-02-17T14:52:08.679-05:00Oooh, but it turned out beeootiful!Oooh, but it turned out beeootiful!Happy in redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02197718655984721646noreply@blogger.com
