doodlebug Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 i installed them last week, and have quilted a couple of quilts. i quilted two E2E to get the 'feel' then i quilted a simple custom and today the true test- feathers. here are my opinions: why, oh why, did i wait so long?? i love them. my only complaint with Nemo was that when i would do long (over 4inches) CC curves on quilts i would always get wobbles in my curve and it was a constant battle to stay smooth. the MM wheels elimated this. my long CC curves are so smooth and easy to quilt...it's like ice skating on new ice- so smooth so today i'm quilting feathers- and i'm extememly happy with them too! my advice- if you were 'thinking' about purchasing them, stop thinking- get them!! i promise you won't be disappointed, well worth every penny.

Oma Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Those are the MOST perfect feathers!!! I really can't pick out where you back tracked most of the time. I'm in awe!!!! I have to go practice now because I have M&M wheels (I love them) and I can't come near what you are showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primitive1 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Well I keep waffling because I have ER wheels and they are pretty smooth, but then I hear your endorsement of those M&M wheels and I think I may do it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Really pretty feathers Shannon. I have M&M wheels but must need some adjustment somewhere because I am still getting wobbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenH Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Wow Shannon, perfection!! It is hard to tell what kind of feather they are. Are they, bump bump feathers or traditional?? I try to practice both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doodlebug Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Originally posted by KarenH Are they, bump bump feathers or traditional?? I try to practice both. they are 'traditional' i trace back on the length of the plume. but sometimes i'll put a tiny gap in between- makes the feathers look echoed.... *side to side glance* it will all be explained in my feathers book....
