Last week, a new addition arrived in my home -- A Gammill Vision 18-8! The perfect size for me. Mark with
Stitch N Frame, drove several hours to make the delivery and teach the basics in a well-organized 5 hour in-home class on Friday. By Saturday morning, the demo fabric Mark left behind for the class was full of practice stitches . By Saturday afternoon, I had loaded my first quilt top below -- made long ago from scraps.
Don't look too close -- using free motion, I went to town with one of my stand-by patterns from the "home machine" days. I tried the rolled patterns furnished with the machine on the practice fabric, however I prefer free motion. If I stay with free motion, I hope to get much better. My sister Phyllis prefers the rolled patterns and laser light.
#1 all done -- just need to do the hand work on the binding.
#2 is here on the machine -- feathered borders and all! I will show you the top later after the binding has been added. Next in line -- the 2012 Relay for Life Quilt due next week. I can't wait.
