The loops and stars quilting looks wonderful, but I can't see the other quilting well enough to comment. You're right though, not seeing the stitching on the back is great.QuiltSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121195815836334067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609547635426839529.post-15787381269608303282012-11-04T15:01:35.809-08:002012-11-04T15:01:35.809-08:00Your doing great Paulette..

You gave me things to think about. Wish I could do the free motion like you do. I too have watched that video several times, but am too afraid to try it.

My two friends who do it are amazing at their craft but it didn't happen overnight.<br /><br />Don't be so hard on yourself because you're doing great. It'll all come together with practice, taking classes and watching videos. That's how they learned.<br /><br />Have fun!Kaarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13378359214056797658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609547635426839529.post-42158021949272578882012-11-04T11:32:32.729-08:002012-11-04T11:32:32.729-08:00Your quilting looks great Paulette.

I still crawl under my quilts four years later and look for tension issues especially when I first start on a quilt. <br /><br />I baste down the sides of my quilt as I roll it--keeps everything nice and straight.<br /><br />To help you learn where that "STOP" point is, you could place a row of masking tape all the way across the quilt. <br /><br />Anytime you want to call and chat, feel free--I feel your pain, I've been there!Janna and Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07591282756244454689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609547635426839529.post-68139692714265168452012-11-04T09:09:41.525-08:002012-11-04T09:09:41.525-08:00I know nothing about long arm quilting but I went ...I know nothing about long arm quilting but I went with a friend yesterday to have a quilt done by a long arm and noticed she had a huge zipper sewn to one side of her take up thing and the other side sewn to her quilt. Both sides of the zipper had been sewn by machine with basting type stitches. Said she had gotten this huge (huge in teeth size as well as length) zipper from an upholstery shop. Don't want to add to your beginners confusion but think this might be food-for-thought when you are more comfortable.<br />Enjoy the process!Phyllis in Minnesotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322966097298166981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609547635426839529.post-19329942635336472472012-11-04T08:59:31.288-08:002012-11-04T08:59:31.288-08:00Babies Sleep a LOT so no they don't really min...Babies Sleep a LOT so no they don't really mind what the Quilting 'looks' like.

I am currently quilting a spider-web quilt for my daughter and making a royal mess of it on my domestic -fighting with the fabric, pushing and pulling. Don't know if I will win, don't want to hand quilt it.Guess practicing FMQ may happen sooner than I thought. lolVicki Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13591246665480467311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609547635426839529.post-28609365978067350312012-11-04T08:34:33.269-08:002012-11-04T08:34:33.269-08:00The mirror is an excellent idea.

I usually just run my fingers over the quilting on the underneath side to feel if the tension is bad.<br /><br />Those really scrappy quilts are great to practice on. They are busy enough that the quilting isn't that obvious and the little "oopsies" go un-noticed.....especially by anyone who doesn't quilt.QuiltinLibraryLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16392850776832804028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609547635426839529.post-24344810789826490822012-11-04T08:17:55.376-08:002012-11-04T08:17:55.376-08:00Great idea with the mirror.
