Hi, I have a question. I have a Pfaff machine which has double transport system. When FM quilting should I leave the upper transport active or not.

Have just finished a Bloom and Blossom Raggedy Jacket, using 5 layers of muslin. Would like to dye it. Not impressed with Rit, Tintex, or Dylon. Any suggestions? Perhaps an ink? or a paint? Would like it to be a rich darkish purple. Thank youy

For Jabotquilt--There are specail needles for leather that are atleast a 110. 90 is way to small. Also, It takes a pretty powerful machine or an old one to sew thru leather. Hope this helps. cindycoven

ok, how is this for hard... at what point in the quilt process do you decide how you are going to quilt your quilt? do you wait till the end or do you have some idea when designing your quilt?

I am trying to stitch on leather. I have a brother CE4000, the leather is about 1/8 in thick, I'm using a 90/14 needle. I have been trying to adjust the tension b/c I am getting a ball of thread underneath, but that is not helping. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thank you!

I have a question about domestic machine free-motion quilting. When I stitch forwards and/or to the right my stitches have poor tension but when I stitch backwards and/or to the left everything is fine. I assume it has something to do with my machine(Pfaff), or maybe I am sewing at a different speed depending on my direction of sewing. Any one else have this problem?? It drives me crazy...

Thanks

Got three right by sheer luck, and cheated on the fourth by sheer indulgence.

I am currently quilting a baby quilt on my Pfaff 2042 QuiltStyle. It is a series of arcs in a row that echo and intersect. I read a machine quilting tutorial that suggested to baste using pins which I did. My problem is that it is bunching where the lines intersect. Do you have any suggestions. I usually use basting spray but since this is a baby quilt, I decided not to. HELP! I have never posted to a blog before so I am not even sure where to go to find the answer. Feel free to send a reply to my e.mail address.....thanks. Sandra Lee Tobin
