I had such trouble with my machine last year that I was frustrated and sent it back to the factory to be refurbished. It was returned in fantastic shape and is quilting up a storm now. I had done one quilt that I debated whether to remove all of the quilting stitches or just donate it as it was (in bad shape).
After a short deliberation, I decided that I had to send in something reasonably proper especially for a donation quilt where the recipient's feelings must be respected. You never know if this might be the only quilt they ever receive and it has to hold together. So I spent time off and on ripping out quilting stitches and finally got the quilt top back to its pristine condition. This lady makes particularly well made tops.
This is the quilt that inspired the fish panto described in the last post with its lovely fish blocks (to be bound).
And this is the quilt that I didn't know was wrapped in the other top until last weekend when I finished removing stitches (also to be bound). It is quilted with musical notes and treble clefs - it is wrinkly from being folded:
What was the inspiration fabric for the panto for that one, you say? It was this, of course!:
But then, what happened with the purple elephants of a few posts ago? Well, they've been going to the dogs:
