I am doing spiral quilting on my Improvisational Piecing project from a Jacquie Gering workshop last summer. I was past the hard part (the tighter circles) and sewing along nicely when I decided to take a look at the back of the quilt...
Uh oh!!! This is not good... (My friend, Christine, said I should not have sewn over the pins...)
Out came the seam ripper...of course it would not come out in one or two pieces...
Such a waste of good thread!
I sat back down at the sewing machine and started quilting again...
I am making progress! The thread is Superior Threads King Tut--variegated purple/blue/turquoise. I think it looks good with the colours in my quilt.
This is my first time trying out spiral quilting. I like the way it looks but it is going to take a while to finish this quilt.
I am hoping for smooth sailing from now on...no more tension issues!
I hate tension problems and feel for you - hope you get it fixed.
ReplyDeleteI just learned the other day that the amount of thread in the spool or the bobbin can cause problems as they get emptier. Your quilt is gorgeous, and I hope the tension problem is solved.

ReplyDeleteThat spiral quilting looks great! And the little bits of selvages in there are perfect.
