\"Mary's<\/a>

I took some materials for a couple of ByAnnie project bags with me to sew while I was visiting Mary. I don’t often travel with my machine when I got to Portland, because I don’t want to bring any more stuff than I already am. Mary was kind enough to let me use her Crescendo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t excited about using a different machine and a different brand. It can be hard to create different habits or not use the habits to which I have become accustomed.<\/p>\n

\"Using<\/a>

I was amazed at how easy the machine quilting was on Mary’s machine. As I mentioned before<\/a>, I used the button to move the presser foot up and down and I used the automatic cutter. While the pieces I was quilting were not large, they seemed to go really quickly. No drama, no problem. Actually, I barely had to do anything. Yes, I had to guide the fabric, but that was it. I used a light touch and it felt like the machine was doing everything. At one point I used the laser to guide the needle. I didn’t really need the laser since I was following the side of the foot, but it was fun to try it out.<\/p>\n

\"Quilted<\/a>

I didn’t worry about doing fancy machine quilting; I just did some straight lines and used a foot with an attachment that means about an inch from the previous line. You can see the white guide on the right in the photo above.<\/p>\n

I am pleased with the way the quilting came out and am also pleased with the process in general. Now all I need to do is put the bags together.<\/p>\n
