I love to do free motion. I used to do just meandering but today started to twirl and circle. I think it's like the blowing snow outside. looks cute on the Christmas table runners I'm doing. I have the "Big Foot"- one of the first quilting gadgets I bought from Keepsake Quilting 3 years ago for my Singer and my new Juki came with a closed toe darning foot. Just love to play!

No i think mine is closed toe, i have to put the thread through the hole. Gee, i wanted one of these for so long, and thought it would be expensive, but it was only 10 bucks. Yes, i'm gonna play around on scraps for a bit, my thread broke playing around last night, but think i was going waaaay too fast :) Don't be scared of it Kitty, we can have fun together figuring out how to do it :)
Hey everyone, i have a question about stippling. I know what it looks like, and i know you dont want to cross your lines, but what i'm wondering is this. What if say you're stippling a long border, so you start at one end and end at the other end. What about the tail at the beginning and end??? I guess you're not supposed to leave loose tails? So does that mean you would try and work your way back to where you started so there's no tails??? Don't worry, i'm not doing no border yet lol, just wondering :) :) :)

Barb, I just start and end my stitching at a seam line so its not hanging out there in space. I don't know if that is right or not, but it works for me. I'd NEVER try to go back to the beginning on a border because of the way I would work my stitches.
