A friend of mine owns not one, but two long arm machines, she has graciously allowed me to use one of them whenever. I went over and began to do the tight meander that I had seen so many times. The issue... childcare. I am the childcare, and Isabella wasn't all that cooperative while I was trying to quilt, and a babysitter in the middle of the day seemed impossible. I was still breastfeeding... So with the quilt about 7/8 done on the longarm I had to abandon it, sad sad day. My friend offered to finish it for me, and a few weeks ago she brought it over ALL DONE!! It is so flat and smooth, my straight line quilting has improved, but it's not as nice as this yet, I still get puckers.
I am so excited and I MACHINE bound this!! I'm learning! It's not so horrible! This is my fifth attempt at machine binding and I may have finally gotten the hang of it. Hooray! It feels so good to have this completed.
Read Here and here and here if you want to catch the back story on this quilt.
