connieb Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I got my quiltazoid this past weekend. What an awesome suprise when I opened the box and the Spiro attachment was part of the package. I didn't see it listed in the list of what was included. I had fun, ran out of muslin way to soon, and learned that if you don't center things just right you get a whole new design. I had fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerriVB Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 OH you are in for some fun now!!! I love useing the spirograph part to put motifs in blocks. They are fun to use as a base and then add some freehand loops from ring to ring to make look like a doily!! Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zora Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'm impressed! I never have successfully done the Celtic knot type design. I haven't played with that feature much. Your pretty practice piece makes me realize I NEED to figure that part out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connieb Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Lynn - don't get discouraged it looks much better in the picture than up close. I definitly made some mistakes. Like not centering one of the designs in the right hole. It gave me a whole new design. And I'm having issues with the eccentric tool but I'll work on it more and hopefully figure it out. I've watched the darn videos a kazillion times:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmaLKB Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 It is a lot of fun. I will be using mine this weekend to quilt circles in appliqued circles on a baby quilt that I took in today. I don't use it ALL the time, but it sure is nice to have when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanaFuller Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I didn't know the Spirograph tool came with it ?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connieb Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Ann - It doesn't. I bought mine used from a person here on the forum. When she listed what it came with the Spirograph wasn't on the list. I thought I was getting a REALLY good deal, when I opened the box and found the spirograph too, well it was an awesome deal. I'm thrilled with all of it. But now I only want to order more templates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JenniferBernard Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I love my Quiltazoid and am using it more and more. In fact I have used it on some competition garments that I have entered in some national shows. I have won some ribbons on my jackets!!! I will also be teaching 2 classes on using the Quiltazoid at Machine Quilters Sshowcase in May of 2013. I am so excited. I am really practicing everything on my Quiltazoid in the next few months. I want to be a good teacher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JenniferBernard Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I live in Webster City, IA. I have taught many different kinds of quilting classes in the past. I usually develop things for my guild the Fort Dodge Area Quilters in Iowa. I am always learning new techniques and playing with them. I especially like to make and enter quilted clothing in quilt shows. I love quilt shows. i have recently expanded my competition field and have entered 8 national quilt shows this year and have won ribbons at all of them. I am getting brave teaching at a national and international show, Machine Quilters Showcase. It does help that I was a Speial Education Teacher for 22 years before I became a long arm quilter. I have lots of work to do to get ready for my debut!! The really cool part is that I will be able to hang out with some well known quilting teachers too!!! Karen McTavish, Sue Patton and of course Dawn Cavanuagh ( my first long arm teacher) know who I am through my competition garments. It is so fun!!
