black 'n' white runner

a quilted runner..             

                    

It's still very hot and humid summer here in Chennai,India... about 32C at 8 pm yesterday :-( and it's really difficult to work with needle and thread …

Happy stitching!

bernina 'n' sewing

My city was flooded a couple of weeks back which was really really good because the ground water level has raised but the roads are in a terrible condition and driving is a nightmare.

I've managed to do some embroidery and sewing .

I taught a friend to do line quilting and how to use a walking foot on my old bernette machine which I'm using for classes now since I have bought a bernina. I'm still learning how to use the bernina 380..tried a couple of things like FHS last week but am not comfortable yet.

                                                 

Another friend of mine wants a quilt made of traditional patchwork blocks using scraps.I'm sure it'll be a WIP project for a long time.

                                       

I had cut some 3'',4'' and 5'' squares from the scrap fabric and finished few blocks..

                                        

                                      

                                          

To get used to a new sewing machine takes time and until then there will be some sloppy work I guess..I'd missed the precision sewing at some corners which looks very bad so I'll have to frog and re-do :-(

Do you use a bernina 3 series ? Please do share with me if you have any tips.

Happy sewing!
