This is not my first attempt, I think this may be my third.
It is a little wonky and it did have some eyelashes, but overall I would say a good trial.
I did this quilting with my Brother. It wasn't until later that I realized the feed dogs actually didn't drop. The quilting looks pretty good, and that factor didn't bother me much at all. I decided to go ahead and try the quilting again on my new Singer, which I will be posting about shortly. It went smoothly at first, and then I attempted an actual pieced quilt.
What a mess. It all ended when I broke my second needle and threw the quilt in the corner of the room.
Apparently I need good, calm music to quilt to. Thus far that has been the advice of every seasoned quilter.
I will often put my favorite tv show on or a movie in the background as well. I actually never drop my feed-dogs. I have run into so many messes when I do that for some reason it just works better to keep them up for me. I also have a brother, one of those a little over $100 that I bought from Cost-co. The hard part will be when you finally get used to your machine and it starts to die on you like mine seems to want to! Hang in there, there is improvement!
