Working in the Studio


After many months of setting up the studio, website, classes (more to come) I am finally feeling ok about working in the space. Yeah!! I like to work on a few projects at once. Last night I worked on a queen size traditional quilt. First I had to oil up the machine and be sure the stitching was at the correct tension. I hadn't used it since it came over on the truck. It took a minute but the Juki was up and running very quickly. I love that machine. It only does a straight stitch but that is all you need to quilt and do free motion stitching. This is a pic of some wet felted children's slippers and felted fabric done in the last couple years.
