 2 members like this. Date: 12/5/12 8:21 PM Here is my "Bowling" Quilt for my father's Christmas present (in his late 80's he still likes to Bowl!)
I am very happy "enough" with it! After the first 1/3 of quilting this, I found out about the secret to changing my pressure foot Pressure! So the rest came out even better. Now that I know, I can't wait to start my next one!
Spray basting and pressure foot Pressure - what a big difference this all makes for me.
