This it my Quiltie for my Febuary Fabric in Art Group
This is my first fabric postcard and my first time at free motion machine stitching. I have been wanting a new sewing machine and not having the cash on hand has allowed me to change my mind several times about which machine I must have. So last week I decided instead of spending $4,000 in the Brenina that I wanted I would invest $30 in my Kenmore and get a free motion foot. I was presently surprised to find out how easy it was and how nicely it worked. Last week I was home sick and discovered day time TV. I saw quilting show and they said to use a small amount of fabric glue to hold the fabric pieces in place. This worked great too.Well today I am home from work because of blizzard so I am off to make some more postcards too bad I didn’t start earlier so send them this year.

Okay - the dogs are just too dog gone cute! Love your free motion stitching. I have been using a fabric glue stick to hold things in place. I try not to use too much. If I am just stitching around the edge of something I try to avoid the edges and just use a little in the middle. It does a great job of holding things in place.
oh I wish you were closer so I could come by and you could show me how to do this !!
Love the doggie postcards !
