I have long loved the look of several background techniques to fill large areas, but was always terrified to try it.

I hate nests on the backs of my quilts, but trying to bury all those starts and stops by hand? Not going to happen. This is much better. And the doodling was fun; I've heard of zangles before and this made it happen. I thought of so many fills and patterns and ideas....THANK YOU Cindy!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02266645125603556701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250006727943954486.post-67436553628860974382012-06-06T12:39:55.655-07:002012-06-06T12:39:55.655-07:00Thank you, Cindy for the wonderful tutorial.

I really want to try the free-form feathers with the S-curves inside the square and the cathedral window pattern inside a square. <br /><br />@SewCalGal thank for this challenge again.

Cindy's way of explaining the 'motor sound' somehow helped me more than any other lesson has, and then the 'beginning and ending' trick has revolutionized my work! I start and stop a lot, and this makes it so much simpler. I've already started 'doodling' a piece, and even though it's a brand new machine and very different, I got comfortable right away. My hat is off to Cindy Needham!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195458656221202202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250006727943954486.post-25867351279495618042012-06-04T00:37:50.484-07:002012-06-04T00:37:50.484-07:00Ooooh!

Do you just turn it off for when you are starting your thread and then turn it on after you've done the microstitches? <br /><br />Thanks!

They have been uploaded to Google Docs, which is promoting their new google Drive. If you have problems, try logging out of your google account before you click the link, but be patient as it may take a minute to download (I suspect a google server performance issue).<br /><br />With respect to questions about starts/stops, please refer to the free handout that Cindy provide on starts/stops. Link is available on the tutorial post. This is also a handout she shares with students who take her classes/workshops. <br /><br />SewCalGalSewCalGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062059207544865569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250006727943954486.post-42039237711156794322012-06-01T18:32:07.579-07:002012-06-01T18:32:07.579-07:00I haven't had a chance to watch and read it al...I haven't had a chance to watch and read it all yet but am super psyched about this month's lesson.
