Linda G. Craig Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Oh my, so fresh and pretty and you did a great job on the quilting. I often think that there are times when "less is more", if you get my drift. I think the way it's done sets it off so well and really suits the style of the quilt. Way to go!

quiltmonkey Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Sandra, this quilt is absolutely beautiful. I want to make one like it. Your quilting is perfect. How are you liking your Bernina sewing machine? Is she treating you right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandraC Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Thanks for all the great comments! I love the happiness of a quilt made of 30's prints and after doing up this one I've decided to do a "Farmer's Wife" quilt for myself using these fabrics, can't wait to start. Shana, I was thinking of you yesterday when I was remember that I've had my Bernina for over a year now. I absolutely love it and wish I'd made the investment in a good machine years ago! I'm going to attempt to make a jacket this year and it is topstitched using a double needle. I've never done this before and I don't see in my instructions anything about using such a needle. Do you think one of these needles can be used in any machine??? If not, I'm sure I can use another decorative stitch to embelish with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a local Bernina dealer? They can talk with you about the right kind of foot to buy (if you need it for that technique) anyway I am so glad you love it.

Bonnie Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I absolutely love simple quilting.....and this one is a stunning quilt for sure.... Not all quilts scream tons of quilting and this one is a perfect example of simple quilting. GREAT job and now you can take your eye balls out to rest them, as I'm sure they itch and hurt by now.:P:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 How did I miss this one? So pretty--I also love the look of 30s fabric and your quilting is perfect for this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyAboutQuilting Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Sandra, I have a Bernina also (730) and just love it! I have used double needles with mine several times and it works great! It does beautiful decorative stitches and I also use the double needle when I need to hem a tee shirt. When you do that, the hem will look like it has been sewn with a serger and is stretchy so it won't be too tight when you put the shirt on and off. Have fun playing around with it!
