gable428 Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Okay, I have to laugh, but my circles aren't quite round! What the heck am I doing wrong? I notice that once I have gone around completely, my stopping point doesn't quite meet up with my beginning point. I hope that makes sense. Suggestions?

circlelord Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Gable, The Nolting stylus is the longest, and has more play than any others. Even with the shortest, you still have to use follow-through. When doing a circle hold the stylus to go on either the outside or inside of the circle. Use a light hand and watch how it goes. If the ends just miss by a thread, then it is how you hold the stylus. If you are making toilet bowls, then a clamp or knob is loose. Let me know how it goes. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gable428 Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hi Dixie. It's going great. It's something new that I just have to get used to the feel of it. I'm working on a queen size quilt using the swirls template and stars that I am creating from the Aztec template. Looks good so far. I love this product and so glad I purchased it:) If you don't have the CL and you are thinking about getting one, do it. You won't be sorry.

meg_marsh Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Yeah MB......... & a few of the rest of us......... I am in love with my CL. Doing the Square Dance right now - almost done. Would be finished but got stung by a bee on my ankle today - no ankle right now due to the swelling so am using some ice so I can LA a bit later tonight. Gable - make sure to post a picture - love to see!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyonden Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 You know, if you quilt too fast, the fabric can get moved around. You might also try slowing down a tad to keep the fabric from being "pushed" around. That is one of my problems. I'm always in a hurry and have to slow myself down. Just a thought.

gable428 Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Yep, I'm starting to sound like the rest of you CL lovers!!! I will post a picture of the quilt I am working on when I am done with it. I am hoping to finish it today:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieqwv Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Thanks. I was wondering how it was working out after Michael posted about the Nolting stylus having the most play. I can't wait to see your photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
