LadyLake Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I've been noticing lately that when quilting the continuous curve (CC) design, I've been ending up 'taking the turns too wide' and it doesn't look good. So this morning, I focused on aiming for the beginning and end of the curve directly and stopping briefly, then going in the other direction. I'm happy with the result. I thought I'd share for newbies (or oldies like me who need reminding often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Linda S Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Looks really good! I do a lot of stencil quilting and, I find I'm not really looking at the line I'm trying to follow, I'm looking where the line is pointing! 9 times out of 10, I'll be right on the line, but if I tried to quilt on the line, I'd never be able to do it. You've got this down - very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
