ffq-lar Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 To those who covet the Bliss and are saving pennies to purchase this great addition--my apologies. I have tried not to be overly vocal after an initial "hooray" about this system. But...... The circles stitched on this quilt in the red and the blue areas were stitched FREEHAND. No template was used. I did mark the last few with an air-erase as I was getting tired. They are not perfect, but my customer was happy. I had to try, and it worked well. The whole system is a marvel and goes effortlessly in any and every direction you want it to. Am I happy with my Bliss? Well, yes I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmland Quilter Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I think your circles look great. Definitely an interesting quilt pattern. I was really unhappy with the curves I did on Pantos at first. But after the Bliss was installed I had no problems at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattyJo Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Another amazing quilt. And I couldn't afford the whole bliss system, but got the M & M wheels as an upgrade and love them as well. As soon as I get my machine over here at the new house, I'm going to give that a go and see how it reacts. You just keep me in good ideas Linda.

CrazyAboutQuilting Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Beautiful, as always! So glad to hear that you are happy with Bliss too since I noticed that you have it but hadn't seen any comments from you about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Wowzers! You did great without a template. Even with the M&M wheels, I don't feel that X/Y resistance when I stitch. I love them. Maybe some day I'll add bliss too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestieMom Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I'm Bliss-envious! Maybe one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 i am from the opinion that no matter how nice bliss rides, if you ain't got artsy talent your outta luck! so, kudos to linda for her talent and kudos to bliss for making it easier for her. that being said, i also suffer from bliss-envy. and i have never even driven it! i shudder to think what will happen when i finally get to try bliss.
