Well anyway I thought so!
That is before I tried quilting shirting flannel. It sucks! I also have two big factors working against me.
1) I sure as shit did NOT spray baste the flannel side enough! No way!
Those are not straight, not even close! And I hate when the fabric comes up and is puffy!
On my last quilt the quilting was my best EVER!
2) I have a McGivered quilt guide. Let me tell you it sucks. There is no hole on my walking foot for it to slide into! So it keeps moving on me!
Electrical, masking, and a toothpick and it sucks. :(
At least from the Dinosaur side things look a little better. The basting spray worked and the fabric isn't super puffy like on the other side.
So I will power through and finished it, but don't you hate when a special gift doesn't meet your standard?
I love the dino fabric! Sometime straight line quilting is the most difficult-it's not very forgiving!
ReplyDeleteIt sure isn't. I did the cross hatch once before and it was easy, must be that working guide arm thing!
DeleteSorry you are struggling with the quilting. The flannel looks so soft and goes very well with the dinosaurs:)
ReplyDeleteIt will turn out lovely and will be loved by the recipient.
