  6. Oh man keep those shoulders down and take lots of breaks......I always tense up and tie myself in knots when machine quilting!

    Good luck and we'll see you on the other side of this project :0).

    Happy Sewing

  8. Have fun! Like Kim says, regular breaks, lots of shoulder movement during the breaks and rest your eyes occasionally. :) Enjoy! Can't wait to see the finished quilt!

  9. Here's my advise: Pin sip, bobbin dance. Every time you take a pin out, take a sip of water. Every time you change the bobbin, dance to the music for about 30 seconds. It keeps you going.... good luck, can't wait to see it!!!

  11. So????????
    How's it going?
    And I'd love to watch Karen machine quilt between the sipping and dancing...of course if I drank that much water I'd running to the bathroom every 15 minutes too :0)!

    I hope its going well......
    Happy sewing
