Kinda like a paper cut
I guess I got a little too carried away last night. Over the past 3 years I have done all of my quilting on my sweet Craigslist find, a $60 used Sears Kenmore sewing machine. I have made it work, and even taught myself how to free motion quilt on that machine. All being said I think the results have been great. It is a living example that you don't need a fancy machine to get started. Not saying it was always easy. I had the occasional fight over tension, it doesn't do a very good satin stitch, and there is no fancy needle down feature. However, now that I am back in Michigan...I call dibs on my mom's Bernina! Last night while finishing the free motion quilting and ENTIRE 40x40 quilt in about an HOUR (that would not have happened on old Kenny), I managed to run over my finger! Who does that?!?
It just looks like a big paper cut now, but it was a bleeder. And for all who are wondering...the quilt is just fine, and waiting patiently to be bound.
