No, not much activity lately, here or in the discussion area. If you have things you want to talk about though with the machine embroidery you are doing, please add a discussion rather than just comments on the wall. The group is only as dynamic as you make it!

HI Joan,
I don't think there has been much activity discussion-wise lately? I know I've been neglectful due to tons of stuff going on…

Arlee, you make me blush! I just want the newbies to know that as long as you have a machine with good tension, this free motion stuff is just a matter of practice. This quilt was a bit of a stretch for me design-wise. No pattern, just free cut and figure it out as you go. It's sometimes frustrating to have no "safety net" but very freeing in the long run to make all your own design choices. After all, it's just time and some fabric and you can throw it away if it really fails.

Cheryl, you continue to amaze me :) GORGEOUS work! I used to use UltraSolvy but the gunk left after is horrible no matter the amount of rinsing: you'll love the Pellon stuff!
