pieksdi Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Hello, this is Regina from Germany. My George Machine arrived a few weeks ago and of course I like it. I had my trial run at Claudia Pfeil and hope she will encourage me furthermore. I live in the Ruhr Area about 80 miles east of Cologne. George is the third man in the house: there is my husband, our tomcat and now George. So I will have to split my time and attention between them three and the grandchildren... I have done some machine quilting before on my domestic home machine; so in my drawers still sit many spools of machine quilting thread I would like to use up on George. I got the extra thread holder. Before I glue it on at the wrong spot I would like to ask you experts where the best spot might be considering the thread path when in use? Any helpful hints? Thank you, Regina www.reginagrewe.de (German) www.reginagrewe.de/index_e.html (English) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Welcome Regina! I don't own a George machine so can't help with placement of the thread holder but I"m sure there's someone on this forum who can. Enjoy your new machine....Mercedes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillFrazior Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Hi Regina and congratulations to you and George. Here is a link showing where I have the hartley spool holder mounted on my George. You'll also notice the red hoop that is hanging to the left of the spool holder. It's Sharon Schamber's "Halo" and works fantastic with George. Let me know if you would like more info on the Halo. Good Luck and have lots of fun with your new boy! http://www.apqs.com/quiltboard/viewthread.php?tid=16444&page=1#pid182052 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Welcome Regina. You have come to the right place to ask questions and also to receive compliments of your work...but you must share pictures of your finished quilts. We all love to see pictures.

pieksdi Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Hi Jill, thank you for the information. The thread goes from the spool to the right and through the first thread path hole? Can't see the invisible thread on the pic... I have a halo too and added it to George just like you did. But didn't try it yet. Do you use it only for stippling and other tiny work?

Thank you, Kristina, I will do my very best. At this time I am working on my first project so I only have a preview. Hm, next thing I need is a detailed advice how to add a picture to my post. So please help! Are there any galleries belonging to the forum? Regina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Lots of us use Webshots. It is free to download and upload pictures. Also, you can simply leave the pictures on your computer and share them that way. Use something like Paint and resize the images to 30% (under 1 MB file) and then attach it to your post. You can only do one picture at a time this way...but it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neher-in-law5 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Welcome and what beautiful work. I have George but don't have an extra spool holder. I was just using him a bit ago. Definitely I need more time with George so the stitches are more consistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pieksdi Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Ladies and Gents I happily finished the quilting on the flower star quilt and work on the binding. It is far from beeing perfect but from a distance it will look fine. I will show pictures and ask my questions when I finished the binding. Thank you, Regina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
