The first picture is a photo of the completed 6″ Tumbler block quilt in a girly jungle theme made using my AccuQuilt GO!. The finished size is about 38″x48″or 9 blocks across by 8 rows down. I used one of the antique quilting stitches (#31) on my Pfaff 2046 and the stitch-in-the-ditch/edge joining foot to quilt down each seam line. It made for an interesting design on the back. I plan to use this same stitch again on the Tweet!Tweet! quilt, however, I will increase the stitch length to 3.0. AccuQuilt suggests you even up the sides before machine quilting. If you’re machine quilting on a domestic machine, I suggest you wait until your quilting is complete before removing the excess tumbler block material.
Here’s my sewing friend learning how to guide fabric under the needle. Mom requested my help in selecting a sewing machine to give to her daughter at Christmas. We met at the local dealer and selected the Janome 2212. Originally, mom and daughter were supposed to take owner’s lessons from the dealer before coming to me for sewing lessons. Little one was so excited, we scheduled Sewing Machine 101 right after Christmas. Her mom tells me she’s sewing everything that doesn’t sew her first.
