I had the afternoon off, and I was able to get started quilting on my latest quilt. I did a stipple over all of the blocks and in the borders, I am doing a free-motion feather design. Doing the free-motion design in the border is a first for me...it is going much better than I had thought. It should get easier the more I practice. The other day, I purchased these nifty little gloves called "Machingers". They really do help grasp the fabric, and are very comfortable.

I also use gloves, I bought in the garden dept..They are very sticky and really work good. Also they are pink.. I heard about them from another blogger.. I have never tried the feather, it looks really hard keeping them all even..

Yes, yes, yes! I tried all kinds of quilting gloves, finger tips, etc. and the ones that work the very best for me are the Machingers! I can even thread the sewing machine needle with them on. Great invention!
Love this quilt. Don't forget to show it when you're done quilting, please.
I keep meaning to buy quilting gloves, I think they would help me tremendously. I love the quilt. Beautiful pattern and fabrics.
Quilting gloves or not...I cannot machine quilt for the life of me! I'm a total spaz. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting on my blog. Love yours!
