You&#39;ll be fine putting together a quilt on your Kenmore. You just need to roll it up on the end to go through the machine, (I actually roll up both sides while I work it through my machine as it is easier to &#39;hold&#39; on to). Anyway, it&#39;ll work for you. Your table runners are beautiful!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-90287633901005587042014-10-10T18:19:07.223-04:002014-10-10T18:19:07.223-04:00Happy Birthday to your daughter!! Your quilt is beautiful. I have done a table runner on the machine but didn&#39;t think the single bed quilt would fit between. I have a Kenmore. An old one but I love it.

Its going to be a lovely quilt. I like the idea of making quilts for love ones with so much time going into making them it&#39;s like giving a lot of love and a big hugAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06612604600950412249[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-6910102085955642692014-10-09T07:28:55.058-04:002014-10-09T07:28:55.058-04:00Now that my quilt is almost done, I&#39;ve been reading more about batting and the quilting process - figures, right?!!! Anyway, I used 100% cotton, Warm &amp; Natural &#39;needlepunched&#39; brand, and from what I&#39;ve read, the needlepunched 100% cotton batting enables your fabrics to cling to it better than other types of batting, so that may be why my method is working well for me.... so far! Thank you for stopping by Sarah Liz! I&#39;m looking forward to getting back to garment sewing soon - probably after our trip - I miss it.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-16616030303490806612014-10-09T07:21:16.970-04:002014-10-09T07:21:16.970-04:00Oh my goodness Erin, your sewing is always immaculate and perfect - such an inspiration to me! One day you may want to make a quilt for your beautiful daughter, and that walking foot will come in handy then. I&#39;m thinking a quilt for my daughter may be in the works for next year - but that&#39;s a secret between you and me. :) Thank you so much for stopping by!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-10364674802066050132014-10-08T21:37:37.107-04:002014-10-08T21:37:37.107-04:00I love the idea of the safety pins holding everything together - I guess with the walking problem, this helps enormously.<br /><br />I agree, age has it&#39;s downsides, but on the plus side, we are usually healthy enough nowadays to enjoy the downside! If that makes sense.<br /><br />Your daughter looks a lovely person. Busy too!<br /><br />Good luck with making the deadline.sarahlizsewstyle.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-49343019589841651592014-10-08T21:03:55.024-04:002014-10-08T21:03:55.024-04:00The quilt is amazing! The piecing looks perfect, I can&#39;t imagine sewing so many little pieces, I&#39;m sure if I tried, they wouldn&#39;t meet where they are supposed to :) Shhhhh .... I have a walking foot that I have not used yet. Hopefully one day, I will :)<br />Happy Birthday to your daughter! Have a lovely time baking and cooking!opportunityknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07117079481971682582[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-17781977421050391752014-10-08T11:30:44.525-04:002014-10-08T11:30:44.525-04:00Thank you for the sweet compliment about my daughter! So true about the &#39;wear and tear on the body&#39; as my wrists and hands have been giving me some trouble now too. It is hard getting old. Oh, I so need to figure out a walking foot. I researched this Kenmore and they do not make a walking foot that fits this machine..... or I would&#39;ve bought one! The one for my Bernina is over $200 and simply out of the budget for anytime soon. I like that you called it &#39;determination&#39;..... my mother probably would&#39;ve called it &#39;stubborn&#39;.... &#39;strong-willed&#39;..... yes, determination is a good word. :) Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-20100419230176682812014-10-08T10:46:27.924-04:002014-10-08T10:46:27.924-04:00First off, Happy Birthday to your beautiful daughter. She looks so much like you.<br /><br />There&#39;s no doubt that quilting a quilt takes T-I-M-E. I once read that you should spend as much time doing the quilting (this is via machine as opposed to hand quilting) on a quilt as you do in the piecing of it. (How&#39;s that for discouraging!) I think when you are able to get a walking foot you will find that your quilting will go much faster, so much easier and your body won&#39;t suffer as much wear and tear. That you&#39;re able to do the quilting at all without a walking foot is amazing to me. Just shows what determination you have!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247[email protected]
