That heavy block of scarlet needs something to set it in place, either front, back or midground. Some small lighted windows as opposed to the darkened ones at the top of the other spires?Deb Lacativahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037530669295128974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-5949022175300813582009-06-20T05:24:50.148-07:002009-06-20T05:24:50.148-07:00When I read about your Bernina problems, I had to ...When I read about your Bernina problems, I had to write. I have a Janome and while taking a free-motion class the tension got all screwed up. The other women all seemed to have "spare" machines they brought to class. I was at a JoAnn the next day and wandered by the sewing machine display. I saw the huge, costly machines with the big beds and thought "No way" but....there was a little Singer Confidence Quilter machine with a big "bed". I knew it was going to take forever to get my Janome back and started talking to the lady about the Singer. She was a great salesperson and I bought it!! It comes with the walking foot and the darning foot, has auto tension, several stitches, and can do everything I need. I got it for $288, including tax since it was the floor model and they were back-ordered! I'm working on my 4th wall hanging using it and it does everything well!!!! <br />I know most quilters think they need the expensive machines but....you might consider this one as a nice little back-up!!!Susan Turneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09864635774677436375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-80660147417870563252009-06-19T15:53:21.496-07:002009-06-19T15:53:21.496-07:00I find Cement Works really interesting.

I would love to see how the piece looks before and after you make your changes. I find the whole process of self critiquing really hard.Nina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316034317827146338noreply@blogger.com
