Ok, so about a year and a half ago, I purchased (on Amazon) a lot of different feet for my sewing machine. I mean, I couldn't pass up pennies a foot with combined shipping. All in all, I think I got 6-7 "feet" for about $4.00 - that is mostly shipping.
I've really been wanting to try Free Motion Quilting . . . which basically is using your own sewing machine to quilt your items.
One of those "feet" was a darning foot . . .
The foot itself was really easy to attach . . . I just need to remember to reattach the "do-hicky" that holds the other "feet" when I'm done!
I made this block a-LONG time ago (so no comments on the points! ha!). I actually kept it so I could use it to practice this.
So, I get going, and it takes a little getting used to. As you can see in the pic, there are some shorter stitches - some longer.
These should even up a bit after some practice.
I was thinking - THIS IS GREAT! Maybe I don't have to go to the outer galaxy to take a long arm quilting class (although I think it would be fun! - taking the class, not going to outer galaxy. Although, that would be fun . . . but that is a different story).
Then I flip the piece over, and see this!
Somebody help me!
What do I need to do to fix this?
