Yes, today is my birthday and we're celebrating by cooking up a big pot of jambalaya, baking a cake, and launching a big sale!
Right now you can save 15% on any order over $20! Definitely click over to the Quilt Shop and check out all the great tools, supplies, books, and DVDs for free motion quilting
on your home sewing machine! Just in case you're just getting into free motion quilting, here's a list of the tools I use on a daily basis: Machingers Quilting Gloves - These grippy gloves help you control the quilt and move it exactly where you want it to go. The lightweight nylon
allows your skin to breathe so you'll never have sweaty hands while quilting! Supreme Slider - This thin slippery sheet helps your quilt glide easily over the surface of your machine and table. If you're feeling like your quilt is really "stuck" lately, this tool will definitely make quilting feel easier and with less strain to your arms and back. Bobbin Washers - If your bobbin thread is all in a tangle, it might be time to try bobbin washers! This small tool tucks into your bobbin case (both top and side loading) and helps the bobbin spin smoothly with far fewer thread breaks! Now let's catch up on all the free articles and videos posted to the project this week:
#436 - Free Motion
Quilt Playground Blocks - Have you been searching for a simple kid themed design? Definitely check out this simple combination of straight lines and rectangles that will be quick to free motion quilt in any space. Quilt a Sawtooth Star with Spirals - We're grooving right along through our Sawtooth Stars, this time filling the space
with big showy spirals! Josh's Chickens, Part 1 and Josh Chickens, Part 2 - Josh is still posting on Tuesdays, but it might not always be about quilting. In this two part post he shared lots of photos of our pretty
birds and rather less pretty coop. I love to listen to the soft clucking and cooing noises the girls make while pecking away at the yard, and we have all found them delightful pets with the added bonus of delicious eggs. |
