Are you still working on that gecko quilt? Hmm, yes. Because the threads kept on shredding, breaking, knotting, etc I could not work on it for hours in a row. Until my dear friend Rose-Anne told me about a lecture by Cindy Needham. This lady knows all the inns and outs about machine quilting, thread tensions, needles and most of all: Problem Solving. Her website is: http://www.cindyneedham.com/ Check this out, also when you are not machine quilting!
The first change I made was the position of the thread delivery: from horizontal to vertical. What a difference this makes! Now it is a bit more fun to work on my quilt and there is only a small part left for the quilting. Before doing the final stitches I started to tie-off all the threads. This gave me some time to think about the final doodle lines to make this quilt complete! The quilt looks already much better. Next posting this one is finished! Sure it is!

Het eerste wat ik meteen deed was de positie van het garenklosje te veranderen van liggend naar staand. Wat een verschil zeg! Nu is het in ieder geval niet meer zo'n nachtmerrie om aan deze quilt te werken en ik ben bijna klaar.
Voordat ik de laatste quiltsteken maak, heb ik alvast de draadjes afgehecht. Nu ziet de quilt er al een stuk beter uit en heb ik kunnen nadenken over de laatste doodle lijnen De volgende keer istie af! Zeker weten!
Ciao from Brazil, Hilde
