I think I learned a big lesson this week about long-arm quilting. How long does it take to check your thread tension?? Not nearly as long as it takes to pick out a whole bunch of messed up stitches because the tension was WRONG. Ugggh. The above is a picture of the back of Casey's Super Hero quilt. Luckily I climbed under the machine and checked the stitch after only quilting about the equivalent of 2 12 inch blocks. Not so fun picking out those stitches.
After that little fiasco, thing went much smoother. I did some fun stitching inside the 9 patches and mostly stipple and pebble everywhere else. It's great to have this quilt done. I picked out the fabric with Casey almost a year ago. Lucky me, he still likes super man, bat man, and spider man.
I guess it was a success, because Casey wanted to wrap up in it even before I did the binding. Love that kid. Overall, I'm super happy with how it turned out.
I love quilting :)
