It took 3 days to machine quilt and hand bind this 54″ x 73″ quilt. I quilted it using Glide thread in Military Gold. Even with the Glide thread, my machine still hiccupped a couple of times as I was doing FMQ. At least it’s done.
After today’s quilt guild meeting, I attached the quilt label and packed the quilt, along with the pattern book, extra thread and remaining fabric, in a medium size Priority Mail box. It was definitely full! Anyway, the post office has the package and it should arrive at my niece’s home in Boston on Monday.
As for my sewing machine, it’s been four years since it’s been in for service. I gave it a really good clean-out, oiled some moving parts and bought a new FMQ bobbin case. A practice quilt sandwich showed everything was as it should be. I’ll quilt a charity quilt next. If the machine misbehaves again, then it will definitely be time to go see Mr. Marc.
