Hey Y'all,Who prefers free motion quilting vs. in the ditch on your HSM? I prefer in the ditch just because it is easier to handle the massive quilt. I have done free motion on one quilt and it was a…Continue

Comment by Janet/MO on Thursday: Thanks Janis.

Comment by Janis B / OH on Thursday: Janet, your table topper is beautiful. I have to get busy quilting and sewing again.

Sherri, I am so sorry to about your fall. I hope you heal quickly. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Comment by Janet/MO on January 13, 2021 at 5:11pm: Thanks Barbara. I resisted getting an embroidery machine when they first came out because the designs were very expensive. Then I bought my 1st one about 15 yrs ago & fell in love with doing it. Now I'm on my 2nd machine.

Comment by Barbara Dieckmann on January 13, 2021 at 9:29am: lovely little quilt, Janet. Makes me wish my sad hands would do pretty embroidery in a hoop again, or that I could afford a fancier machine than my trusty old Bernina 1130. Was a pretty fancy machine in the days when sewing machines first were computerized at least a little and before I was so injured I had to take disability retirement.

Oh, Sherry! So sad for your injury. I sure hope you heal fast and well. Patience thru the waiting as healing does seem to take forever when one is in midst of it. Daydream well of all you will do when you are able again

Comment by Janet/MO on January 13, 2021 at 7:23am: Thanks Debbi.

Oh no Sherri. I hope you heal quickly with a minimum of pain.

Comment by Debbi Lamb/AZ on January 13, 2021 at 5:26am: Sherri - OH MY! I am SO sorry! I hope you heal quickly ... and as pain-free as possible! My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Comment by Debbi Lamb/AZ on January 13, 2021 at 4:14am: Janet - I LOVE the table topper! It's really pretty. Great job!

Comment by Janet/MO on January 12, 2021 at 5:36pm: Here is a pic of a table topper I finished this evening. The snowflakes were machine embroidered and the I machine quilted the top. I laid it on my kitchen table to take a pic & like how it looks so much that I'm going to use it as a table topper instead of a wallhanging.
