Look! I have a new friend in the sewing room. It's a Gammill!!!!
The lovely Tammy from TK Quilting and Designs brought it to my house yesterday. After putting it together she taught me the basics on loading, oiling, threading and getting started with the quilting. She even stitched out a few feathers for me to stitch over, and over, and over. I'm stitching it without thread for practice. It really does help build the muscle memory for making smooth curves and flowing feathers.
We had fun taking turns last night. Look, it's so easy a child can do it! Actually, Miss P was pretty good. She stitched out an awesome swirly border and a mermaid!
D tried the pantograph set up.
We filled up our practice quilt but didn't want to stop to load more fabric so we just kept stitching.
I want to quilt all the things!
I think it might be time to load something new. I'll have to make a quick top... unless someone else has a quilt I can play on. Anyone?
