I use my darning foot...sometimes use the stitch regulator, sometimes I don't. If I get in a good rhythm...I can do them better without the regulator actually....my machine is a Bernina 200.
My Mom was an artist (watercolors, oils, jewelry maker, seamstress((who didn't teach me how to sew), musician. My Dad is a fabulous cartoonist who ended up with a "real" job and didn't pursue his "arty" side). thanks though (she says blushing :oops:)

Ripping done, new ideas and moved forward. I'm actually finished with the quilting now.....Haven't blocked or bound it yet...but here is a sneaky peek of what I've done...
I changed my mind on the feather for the outer border and went with just quilting around the flowers and then I added more to the flower cornerstones. I liked K's ideas for the leaves on the braid, but realized that I was trying to over think that border and it needed something simple so as to not take away from the piecing there.
So...here ya' go...some progress. I'll post a pic of the whole quilt finished when I get it bound.
