I have signed up to take the FMQ Challenge that sewcalgal is sponsoring. I am excited because after 18 months of owning a Bernina (and the BSR) I will put the foot to the fabric and learn to quilt. I have been too scared to try before. I live in a small town far from the nearest dealer, couldn't attend the classes, and by the time I got home I would forget what they had told me about the machine.
This was my first attempt. The design is leaves, not strawberries, but now I know how to do strawberries! I give myself an "A" for effort and finally trying it. (Don't you love Januarys?) I did it without the electronics of the BSR (still not sure how it works!). I would like to learn without first and then have a go with it. My next attempt was better, still have a long way to go. I have hopes for my skills by December!
Thanks to all those who are sharing their skills and all those wonderful people who are so encouraging on Facebook.
Hello Bobbi,
ReplyDeleteYour stitches are nice and even. Leaves come in many different shapes including strawberry. Congrats on the Bernina, some say it is the cadillac of sewing machines FMQ takes practice to get the shape flowing.
