LibbyG 1,020 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Linda, I love looking at your quilting, but you've got to use flickr. It's really easy to use and my "older" trifocal floater eyes can see the quilting better. Besides, if we save your pictures, then you're deleting them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

queenie123 21 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 DITTO on all the above ! I really loved the long micro meandering into the angles ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ffq-lar 3,605 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Thanks for the great comments! My customer was so pleased--she said it was just what she wanted. I'm a very lazy quilter. I'm always looking for the easy/quick way. And I hate stippling--I never get a rhythm going and I tense up and start to hurt after a while. No amount of practice has ever made a difference for me. That's why I McTavish or do any number of other fills before I ever do a stipple. Now here I was making the decision to micro-stitch a big chunk of this quilt. What was I thinking? Here's my lazy-quilter shortcut for micro-stitching-- I had triangles marked between the spikes. I stitched the marks first and then I started at one angle and stitched overlapping circles about a quarter inch around--all along the marked line. When I got to the next angle I reversed and stitched those same circles back. These circles overlapped the first row about half way. I continued changing direction and overlapping the circles until the area was filled. I made sure to hit the stitched outside line so the area was filled. When the circles were done I eyeballed the area for "bubbles"--those obvious areas that had raised between the stitches. I then stitched over one more time randomly and popped those "bubbles". I was amazed at how quickly this went! And no stipple--just easy circles that didn't make me hurt! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
