When I ordered a walking foot for my Kenmore, I also ordered a darning foot.
darning foot
I’m hoping to graduate from stitching in the ditch and one day be able to do some free motion quilting, so I did a little practicing on some scraps.
This led me to think, “Hmm, that small rectangle doesn’t compare to moving the bulk of a large quilt beneath a darning foot. Maybe I’ll practice some more on my new tablecloth. It’s fairly large.”
I'm sitting at the dining room table in order to watch the birds.
I need to work on maintaining the length of the stitches. Some are long leaps of the needle, and others are like stayed stitches.
Isn't this fabric gorgeous?
The tablecloth is simply lined and hemmed yardage from Hobby Lobby. I hope I don’t regret this experiment….
Love,
Tiff
