Friday- Already!

I really do not know where all the time goes! It was just Sunday ,or so it seamed!
This week hasn't been as productive as I thought but I am OK with that. I have done some sewing and tweaked my blog and web site. So I have been busy but not a lot that can be shown.
I worked on my first pantograph project. This is where you use a pre-made design or in my case I made my own, and it is laid on the long arm quilting table. Then you use a laser light to follow the design and it stitches out your design on your quilt. The learning curve it to be steady and fluid and how to continue your design placement when you roll the quilt forward to continue your pattern. Also you are looking at the pattern and the laser and not at the stitching area. So different from your regular machine. So my first attempt will probably go up on Ebay for sale making sure that the customer knows about the stitching flaws. If it doesn't sell that I will donate it to a good cause.

This morning I signed up for a class on garment sewing on the Craftsy site. They have some nice classes over their and some are free! I like free! I do not get paid to say this just like the site.

Time is waisting so I best get busy------

Happy Sewing

Linda
