    So I had these pinwheels laying around for awhile. And my niece wanted a quilt for her American Girl doll. I did all the piecing, quilting, and binding on my Janome.

    I'm pretty pleased with it. There are a couple mistakes, but I doubt she'll notice them :).

    I am pretty proud of myself ;). I experimented with FMQ and found that stippling was the easiest for me. The whole reason I did it on my machine was because my mom got me the Supreme Slider to put on the bed. It made the quilting go so much easier and faster. No drag and my stitches were pretty even :). Glad I just jumped in and did it!

    Great job - she will love it. What's the Supreme Slider for a bed? Can you post a picture?

    The Supreme Slider is like this slippery piece of vinyl type material. the underside is sticky and just goes on the bed of the machine :). It totally eliminated the drag and just made the whole process go a lot smoother and so much faster! I hope I explained it well enough :).

    Honestly, the Supreme Slider made my movements a lot more fluid and curvier. I'm pretty sure it was the best birthday present I've ever gotten ;).
