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

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!

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?

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

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

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.

I am working on Christmas tree skirts. They are hexagon shaped.. I have all the quilt shapes/squares sewed on, and can't figure out how to finish it.  You have to cut down to the center, thru the sewn  parts, and then put binding tape on it. You have to go down to the center and go around it. And then do the tops of all the hexagon squares all the way around.  How can you put a backing on this and sew the binding tape onto it.  If I can figure this out, I can make all the rest of the tree skirts I want to make.  I just have to know how to finish it off.

Does anyone have a bernina for sale?

I have a Kenmore model 1803. My question is I can't get the cams to make the designs. I have followed the directions in the instruction manual. Can anyone help me?

I would like to know if a cloth is cut diognally, does it give a better fit and fall than when it is cut straight? Please advise.
