Do you ECHO Echo echoooooooo ?
I'm sure we would both deserve it... if not for that then *surely* there's
something we've done recently to deserve it??? I'm in the doghouse- literally!!!- for all the noise from the vacuum and shampoo-er. Not even Hoover will come near me with his red rubber ball begging to go play in the backyard. Leslie & The Furbabies in MO. "Polly Esther" wrote in message ... I saw that too, Leslie, and considered telling our NightMist that my arms are rather short. She just might come bop us on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper. Polly "Leslie & The Furbabies in MO." wrote NightMist, dear, is that a LONGarm or a long ARM? LOL Leslie- feeling ornery & The Furbabies in MO.- where 'we' just shampoo'ed the carpet and I have a blister on my hand to prove it! I ran the machine and The HairyButts ran in circles..... "NightMist" wrote On a preemie quilt that would be easy! Just don't try it on a king. I have long since learned that curves are good, curves are grand, curves should always move foward and not in circles when the quilt is massive. Round and round things on big quilts are easiest by hand. Unless you have a long arm I s'pose. |

I just looked up echo quilting in Diane Gaudinsky's Guide to Machine
Quilting book. She uses free motion presser foot and uses the edges of the foot to sort of gauge spacing. Keep your eyes on the previous line of stitching not the needle. Harriet Hargrave says you can lightly mark the echo lines when you are learning just to get the feel of it. She does the first quilting line in a ditch around the edges of your design. SO I guess she really does an outline of the appliqué right up against but not on it. She says keep your eye on the needle for this. Next row use the edge of your free motion foot for a gauge and work clockwise. I think I just usually try to get up against the appliqué or within 1/8" or so and free motion slowly to get started. I think you just need to start experimenting. I am trying to see in my mind happy hooting out of those preemie babies. : ) If Leslie is reading, have you tried the new fancy free motion foot for the 6600? I am thinking about getting one. This machine and I need to learn to get along. LOL TAria Polly Esther wrote: A machine quilting question. Tell us how you echo. I 've tried (or seen) echoing just as close as you can manage to get with the SM foot. I've tried moving out 1/8" or 1/4" in a sort of shadow effect. I've tried barely following the edge of the vine or appliqué with just a loopy stipple. What technique do you use? Why? Easier, looks better, what? Just wondering. I don't think the preemie babies I stitch for will give a happy hoot but I always, always would like to do better. Polly |

No, I don't have it yet. I received the email from Janome when they
released it and I wrote down the part numbers for it and another new quilty type foot, but..... never made it in to see if my dealer has it in stock. The 6600 feet are pretty expensive, so I want to wait a bit now. I have some big, but rather happy, expenses coming up. I'm not telling- and NO!!! I'm not expecting- either human or canine! LOL!

Well, I hope I don't have any expenses coming up so maybe I should
test it out. Does this expense have anything to do with the travel questions you had a while ago? Taria Leslie & The Furbabies in MO. wrote: No, I don't have it yet.

Hi Sherry,
I ordered the Very Hungry Caterpillar fabric from virginiaquilter.com Some of it is out of stock right now but she is getting more in.

I stitched "in the ditch" around the leaf, caterpillar, & butterfly -- also along the vein in the leaf and several lines in the butterfly wings. Then I echoed with lines about 1/2" apart around each of the objects to fill the white space around them. I quilted the "gum ball" areas with large "pebbles" -- rather irregular ones, I must admit. Fortunately, the design of the fabric camouflages them somewhat. Julia in MN I love that quilt. That was my daugher's favorite book when she was 6. I've always wanted to make one for a grandchild (If I ever get one). I've seen the panel, but it was only 24" or so and didn't know what to do with it. I've never seen the other fabric that you used. Where did you find it? Sherry |
