Topic: Show and tell with helpful tricks (8/9) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

Enjoy "Color My World" by Wendy Williams - This beautiful quilt is constructed of soft and textural shot cottons from Windham fabrics on a richly patterned background. It offers so many opportunities for personalization through both embellishment and quilting- you could add house numbers, decorations, people, pets, garden flowers- there are so many ways to make this quilt truly your own!

Let's use this Topic "Color My World Show and Tell" as a place to show off your beautiful work. That way, you know where to come to see what everyone is doing.

The topics that apply to each month are a good place to ask questions or make suggestions for each block.

bbquiltmaker OFFLINE Posts: 1498 Thank you received: 1762	[quote= I used mine today. I think mine is just the 10 foot from an old machine. I used the single hole plate and didn’t move the needle. It worked great! I have the 770 as well. Marti[/quote] A student yesterday in the year long local class I’m doing said the same—single hole plate, no need to move the needle. I am going to play with it later today to see if I like it.

I have not used my 10C foot yet but can I assume that I will need to use the 9mm plate and move my needle position in order to get the stitching close to the paper edge fold? I have a new Bernina 770 so I'm alittle challenged but I think the 10C foot would work.

I used mine today. I think mine is just the 10 foot from an old machine. I used the single hole plate and didn’t move the needle. It worked great! I have the 770 as well.

PaolaRB OFFLINE Posts: 59 Thank you received: 266	Sewmarti, thank you! I am new to this technique. I chose this background fabric as I hope to add clouds in the sky via appliqué, if I don’t find it too hard.

Maworchid OFFLINE Posts: 2 Thank you received: 46	Finished all my small houses #1. Used the freezer paper piecing method for the first time. Only sewed through the freezer paper twice. I did use a couple of pins on each unit to make sure the freezer appear held - just moved the pins away from where I needed to press each time. Fabrics by Kaffe Collective and sunflower grunge background. Attachments: 66A8196C-5...0FD.jpeg (79KB)

woodsies OFFLINE Posts: 11 Thank you received: 63	I used the 34d foot for my first house and it worked great. I just ran the red line along the edge of the paper and my seams were perfect. Now if I could just keep that first piece from slipping! I’m going to try a little glue on the next house.

PaolaRB OFFLINE Posts: 59 Thank you received: 266	It took a while, but I finally figured this out. As a newbie, the first house was a challenge but I think I am finally getting the hang of it. These are my first 3 small house #1 that I completed today.

cmannconso OFFLINE Posts: 21 Thank you received: 134	I finished my first house. Though the windows are a bit off I love it! For me, adding a little glue with the first piece is a better way to go. Even though I ironed it well without the glue they kept slipping because they are so little. Hence the odd window.
