I've started the pattern but it will be a bit before I can finish it. The piecing is really simple but it is just figuring out the best way to explain the assembly because the blocks are set on point. When I made the quilt I had no idea what it would look like - I just had some blocks I had made and I worked from the center out!Karen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166374693095867682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-3888431976377262022014-01-29T13:20:17.419-08:002014-01-29T13:20:17.419-08:00Karen, I'm looking forward to your pattern for...Karen, I'm looking forward to your pattern for Piccadilly to the Nines!

It was so nice to be able to try so many different threads without spending money buying them first but I think the best part was learning to experiment with your machine and threads. There are so many embroidery stitches on my machine that I never tried before so that part was really interesting. I might just use some of those stitches in a future project!<br />Karen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166374693095867682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-11140497666551592442013-12-03T02:54:47.777-08:002013-12-03T02:54:47.777-08:00What beautiful work you do, your piccadilly quilt ...What beautiful work you do, your piccadilly quilt is stunning as is your Love Entwined.

In my experience the "whiskers: are the result of a change in speed, especially if they only appear on curves as yours appear to. If it were tension, needles, thread or anything else to do with equipment it would be all the time. We get more comfortable doing certain motions, curves to the right might come more naturally than those to the left ( or forward rather than backwards) and at this time our confidence rises and we speed up. Trouble is the machine doesn't. The trick apparently is to run the machine fast and your hands slow and steady. The analogy i have heard is like a swan , feet paddling furiously while it glides smoothly across the surface. Easier said than done, but does come. BTW thanks for the mention of my "Stars quilt" its polling fairly well, but still way behind the lead quilt.
