During the month of August, we're including a bonus Accessory Kit with all Janome 1600 machines with everything you need to begin ruler quilting!
You'll get a ruler foot, Ditcher Ruler, and 10 metal bobbins for free when you pick up this machine from LeahDay.com.
These videos have been getting lots of happy comments from quilters around the world. Beverly B shared this:
This video has been so helpful to me. I have a 1600p and the feet that you described and the slider sheet but could never get my machine to free motion quilt. The problem was that my thread would keep breaking constantly. I saw you suggested isacord thread and figured I would give it a try. What a difference. No breakage. It amazes me what a difference thread choice makes. I love my 1600p for piecing. It is a workhorse. But now I am thrilled that I can also
do my free motion quilting on this baby. Thank you for this video and all your tips and tricks.
Yes! Thread can make a big difference, especially for free motion and ruler quilting. When you hit those higher speeds, you need a thread that is thin, but strong enough to handle the friction of free motion quilting.

So that's it for this week, . I'm off to finish organizing my new sewing studio and I hope to get around to binding a quilt that's been in progress for 7 months. It's so nice finally be getting back to all the projects I had to put aside during our house repairs.
Let's go quilt,
