My Bernina Q24 longarm quilting machine on the 12' classic frame finally arrived! Watch the story unfold and read more about why I ordered it on my blog here: sewcanshe.com/watch-my-bernin...
Woo those stairs are crazy. What a fabulous quilting space. I too am readying my sewing room for a new Bernina frame. My mantra was if it is not necessary get rid of it
What a beauty - don’t know what I’m more envious of - the machine set-up or this marvellous quilt! Thank you for everything that you share with us. Happy quilting from Germany
How exciting! Congratulations! I can not free motion quilt because of arthritis in my neck. My husband put my sewing table on bed risers to help me sew without bending my neck so much. It has helped.
Congrats!!! Your first quilt is fabulous. I also can't wait to see what you are going to do with those practice pieces of quilted yardage. I have a long arm, and don't cut the extra backing off the end of the piece so when I'm done with the quilt top, I can lay an additional piece of batting or interfacing (foam or non woven) down, top with yardage and quilt away. You can make so many cute small bags or pouches. A quilted piece 6" is big enough. I don't add an additional lining, just bind or serge the edges. One caveat: make sure you weren't planning on using that additional backing for the binding. ;-)
Looks so wonderful. I am considering purchasing a Bernina longarm possibly the Q20. I have been quilting a long time, but never have used a long arm. Excited to learn something new. I am worried a little because I could never master free motion. But hoping this will be a different process. Did you add the Qmatic? Love your set up!
I currently have a juki which I absolutely love but looking into investing in one that is computerized and does the patterns. Does the Q24? Btw I enjoyed watching your video, and your dog is adorable ;)
Congratulations! If you don’t mind me asking, where did you order your long arm from? I’ve been wanting to get me one but don’t know where to order from. Thank you 😊
Is there a way to get clarification on a pattern you have? I don't know any other way to get in touch with you. I have the project 3/4s finished and now just stumped. Thank you.
