  I finally did it! I ordered myself a Juki TL machine… now I’m anxiously awaiting for it to arrive in the mail.    Hopefully, it won’t be difficult to begin with- found a few YouTube videos I might find helpful…. To start free-motion quilting on the Juki TL-18QVP, you will need  an  open-toe darning/free-motion foot , which is often included with the machine, along with  quilting gloves   and an   extra set of needles . Other helpful accessories to purchase include  extra bobbins   (preferably metal), a   needle threader   (if the one on the machine doesn't work well for you), a   quilting oil pen , and potentially an   LED light . Essential items Open-toe darning/free-motion quilting foot:  This foot is crucial as it hovers over your project, allowing you to move the fabric freely in all directions. Check if your machine came with one, as some models include it. Quilting gloves:  These give you more grip ...

November is considered the month of giving thanks.  In reality we give thanks everyday for that we are given so much! Have a blessed Sunday!

Update: I’m making a fall quilt. I have a few things in mind.  I would like each one of our kids and grandkids, and other family members who would like to join in to do at least one of the four options:   Number 1: Write on a piece of white paper or light colored fabric what you are thankful for. If you choose to do it on white paper I can heat transfer it using the computer and transferring paper. (I think). I can also collect digital forms for this choice. I prefer handwritten over typed. I believe it to be more meaningful that way.  Option number 2: Use some fabric paint and press your handprint on fabric, or trace it with a permanent marker.  Option 3: Trace your hand from some fabric you really like or something old that you don’t wear anymore. I prefer 100% cotton. Option 4: Send me your recent fall pictures or make up your own combination or idea. I’m planning on using all these parts in the inside of the quilt - making it a double sided qu...
