I do think Instagram and blogs can have us thinking our quilts have to compare to those of professional long-arm quilters, which can be quite discouraging. I also think once a quilt is trimmed up, bound and washed, it always looks that much better :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269024602469760012.post-62721822360564959352015-05-15T18:05:58.862+10:002015-05-15T18:05:58.862+10:00Thanks for your encouragement.

They didn't have any in stock for the sale, and I didn't feel like going for the 550 QE instead. I'll just get my old machine fixed for zigzags and basic stuff...Selhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11656224582184432424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269024602469760012.post-48345110156594703482015-05-15T17:09:03.392+10:002015-05-15T17:09:03.392+10:00Please don't put yourself down like that, I th...Please don't put yourself down like that, I think your quilting looks great, we are always our own worst critics. Remember that when you are quilting you are close to your work so it may not look as good as you would like, but once you view it from a distance, (as it is meant to be viewed) then it looks lovely. Wait till you bind it and then re-evaluate how you feel about it. You would enjoy the B750QE, I have one and love it.Piphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024358673602132526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269024602469760012.post-89667969472204961552015-05-15T08:43:58.422+10:002015-05-15T08:43:58.422+10:00It feels so...messy, I suppose.

What is it you are not happy about with the quilting? It is not clear from the pictures that there is anything a quilty person would be concerned about. Love the fabrics and the crispness of the hexagon and diamond quilt. It looks so fresh and summery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
