Lots of great information in your tutorial and I can use all of it!!!
I have often wondered how you get the paper out of your stitches after using it for a pattern, but I guess it comes out fairly easily.i will definitely have to try that with the quit I am doing now. Billy |
This tutorial must have taken you a while to put together. It is very well written and the pictures are great, getta. Thanks you for sharing. I found it Very Enlightening. :)

That was great! Thank you.
Your machine looked to have a larger throat than mine. I have a basic sized machine (and a large hand :oops: ) so I haven't tried your method of holding the quilt, but I'm willing to give it a shot if it makes FMQ easier! Thanks for the idea! |
Geta, That is a wonderful tutorial. Thank yo so much for the professional tips.

Do you sew with the batting on the bottom? does the feed dogs chew it up?
Can't wait to see your shadow trapunto ! I have no problem when I sew with batting on bottom (but I lower the feed dogs). If you can't lower them, just cover them with a piece of plastic. |

Billy I forgot to mention on the tutorial that I stitch through paper with dense stitches. In this way it is easy to remove the paper. |
Geta...where do you set you stitch length when doing your FM over the paper? I use vellum type paper (very thin) and I've found that I can use a 2.5 or even a 3 and it will still tear off very easily. I'm just curious about what setting you use as I think your paper is thicker than mine.

I can't tell you the exact lenght of the stitch (being stitched with FM) but I think is about 2.5. For trapunto I use smaller stitches (because those stitches will disappear anyway after washing). |
Thanks Geta...
