    Default Judy Niemeyer - Bali Wedding Star Scallops Quilting

    I was working on sewing some of this quilt together today, when it occurred to me that I really didn't know how to load this on my long arm. Then I realized, DUH, I float all my tops. The problem will be just to make sure I keep the edges even. I'll probably run a basting stitch along the arcs. I have already stay stitched all the outsides of the arcs so they will stay in shape while I am finishing up the sewing.

    This is my first paper pieced quilt project and I have learned so much. This has taught me better than anything how to sew a consistent quarter inch seam. Accuracy is everything when sewing all these parts and pieces together. I am hooked on paper piecing for the rest of my life. Hope you enjoy my partially finished quilt. FYI... It is 7 arcs by 8. It is the largest quilt I have sewn.

    I like pp and am learning so much from carol doaks class on craftsy, had done some pp that didn't line up right and the craftsy class has really helped me understand why
