I used the edge-stitch foot mostly for this quilt and it seemed to run through the machine with very little drag and pull. Boy, I&#39;m really glad I switched out the fabric after reading the story about your friend!

The quilt turned out beautifully, including all the quilting you did on it. Are you liking your walking foot? And your dear husband for getting it for you? :o}<br /><br />Your experience with the flannel fabric reminded me of a quilt a fellow quilter made for a special sister-in-law a few years ago. The front and the back were flannel and she found the flannel &quot;stretched&quot; even as she was piecing it. But she persevered and found herself in a horrible mess when she tried to quilt it (on her machine) because of the stretching. She couldn&#39;t figure out what the problem was because it was good quality fabric and she had so much money in it that she felt she couldn&#39;t just dump it. Well, she had more patience than I would have and somehow finished it but actually labeled it, &quot;The Quilt from Hell.&quot; Good thing her SIL had a good sense of humor!!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-52068249861226883162014-12-10T14:30:31.548-05:002014-12-10T14:30:31.548-05:00That&#39;s one of the things I love about blogging, is getting to know different ways of spelling words! What was so frustrating, was that there for a moment, I thought I was a little &#39;ahead&#39; - only to find I was &#39;behind&#39;! The quilt is in the mail now and am looking forward to Gene&#39;s post when they are all delivered. It&#39;s fun to read what he has to say and sometimes he&#39;s able to do a short video for us.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-32665067664915538462014-12-09T23:25:03.258-05:002014-12-09T23:25:03.258-05:00I agree with Tracy - a deadline and a promise to keep help to stop one from walking away from frustrating jobs. As well as create them in the first place! The things we do...<br /><br />I can quite understand your concern about the flannel disintegrating - and how disappointed the receiving child would have been - s/he has probably suffered lots of losses anyway. So you did the right thing - but isn&#39;t it so awful when these things happen, especially with multiple repeats to get things just right. <br /><br />A real labour of love. (we use u&#39;s in our spellings of some words).Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-38607239365333234432014-12-09T08:53:45.953-05:002014-12-09T08:53:45.953-05:00Thanks Erin!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-7580438465514983282014-12-09T08:53:09.437-05:002014-12-09T08:53:09.437-05:00You are not kidding about a deadline!

This is a lovely personal gift which I am sure will be very much appreciated.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06612604600950412249[email protected]
