I have been Machine Quilting this week. Not free motion or ditch quilting, BUT quilting with the Embroidery machine's. I had forgot how many quilting designs I had, So Saturday after work I set my machines up and off I went. 
This is one of the new designs from Husqvarna ,all you do is load it into your machine, hoop up your quilt and off you go. I am using the Ruby. It is only a new machine it came out late last year. Very nice to use.
Position the design in the middle, check to see if it is going to fit and hit start. I will shadow quilt when this part is finished also.
I always pinned most of my quilts , but lately I have been tacking. I find the quilt stays together better and the overall effect turns out alot better. Using the sweet 16 is much easier if it tacked also. Sometimes I get so many quilt tops done Jan and Leanne do some for me.
I know I talk alot about machine Embroidery BUT that's what I do. I LOVE IT. It's the next step of sewing for me. I still love everything else but I love learning the technology of Machine Embroidery ,always something new happening. These Russian Rolls I have been stitching out to. They are so cute. There will be 12 in total and they come in 2 sizes.
Also this week it was my birthday. Thank you to everyone for there kind wishes (and the cakes)And thanks to Ally for this Fabric. It's beautiful, I love it.
Don't Forget classes for this week are only on Monday and Tuesday 9 - 1. No monday night class and we will be closed from Good friday till Tuesday and re-open on Wednesday with all classes back to normal.
