Anne from Guam Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Ferret, you are so COOL!:cool::cool::cool: I love your work, don't ever stop! I'll be anxious to see your newest creation. Post it soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I mostly run my machine flat out, and to be honest I'm finding it a bit slow for some patterns. I was doing large curls and leaves today and I was struggling to move slowly enough for it. Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocoholic Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Wow, Ferret. That was wonderful. And you have certainly made the big time. WTG! I'd love to show you that not all Americans are unfriendly, as I am sure many of us on the forum would like. Let us know when you are coming and at least some of us should be there to make sure you have a better time than last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janette Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Flat out speed? I think the film I saw must have been slowed down then, or perhaps the needle was moving so fast I couldn't keep up !!! Are you working on your larger feather piece yet that you were talking about at the maintenance day? hope its going well. Your chair was impressive too !! and your added photos on your website too !

LinneaMarie Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 WOW!! That was a quilt show!! Or was it an art show?? It was both!! You are truly talented, creative, and amazing!!!:P:P:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 On the film I was demonstrating and I did slow the machine for that. The last 4 quilts I've done were all flat out. I haven't had time to start on the bigger feather piece yet, it's driving me mad. I guess it will be after the NEC now Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janette Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Oh that makes sense Ferret. I thought perhaps if I slowed it down I would get better results. I should have guessed it was demonstration at the FOQ. It was before I had a longarm that I saw you there last year, otherwise I would have stopped to chat. Sorry to hear you havent found the time to spend on your larger feathered piece yet, I am sure you are working on other interesting projects though ! I hadn't realised your portfolio was so large! I was hoping to get to your workshop in June, (LAUK) but the date is right at the end of our holiday and not sure if I can now . I am hoping to get up to Linzis in July though which I am looking forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I've just gone back and rewatched the video, that isn't far off flat out on my machine. Is my machine just slower than others? Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janette Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Hi Ferret The speed looked great on your video, probably because you make it look so easy - I was trying to guess it and emulate it !! I expect it is just my eyesight playing up !! I have a reminder from specsavers that it has been two years !!!! I havent hit the maximum speed on mine (mainly I run in stitch regulator mode) I couldnt possibly go as fast as maximum on my machine in manual mode, but I don't have your years of experience or a fraction of your talent - I am still learning and practicing.

Ferret Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 If all goes according to plan I should be at Linzi's event in July. I haven't talked to her about a plan yet as I thought I would leave her to finish her yurt. I think we had half a plan for some teaching or demonstrating though.
