On the Frame

Now have my third quilt on the frame... 

This one is mine, so if I do something wrong ...my problem.  

Thinking about what to do here.

 

My Bernina 820 is away getting a service, so this will be ready when I get it back,

Hopefully by the end of next week.

Looking at the quilt on the photo here.. I am wondering if I have 'mussed' up the borders!

Should have just put the white on and THEN a red border to finish.

There are those odd white squares in the corners!!

Never mind - its all practice!

Hope I have put it on correctly - in the right order.. I watched a video as I went...

Back to the DWR... but slow progress there.

We are really busy here with life in general, so not very much of anything being accomplished.

 

On the Frame, DWR,

Took me all day yesterday to get this much done on the frame....

getting used to stopping where the throat plate of the machine ends is taking some planning.

I am working to get at least one row of blocks done and the side borders

Plus, while sewing, the machine came unplugged at the back  - and I lost all my settings...so thats where I need to start today...sort out the settings and the tension.

Fortunatley I have discovered how to sit in front of the machine at the end of the frame to do this..plus I 'anchor' the machine with one of my side tensions so that I can actually test sew on some fabric...with my hands ...as I am used to...as its difficult to see under the frame with a small hand mirror and I don't have enough fabric on the quilt to test on

I am using Aurafil 50 in the top and Invisafil in the bobbin.

Needle I am currently using is an embroidery needle 75

I also have this heap for sewing the melons together for my DWR.

May need to get some of this done before I get lost at the frame again.

I do have some of the pieces worked out on the design board...and sew and watch through the window to see the birds fly in to get a drink from the bird bath.
