All better now

One of the advantages of owning an old mechanical machine is that brute force occasionally works to fix things. I took a screwdriver to the tension assembly, fiddled some more with the settings, and the looping problems disappeared. JOY!

Most of the water is now done, I think I need some more sand, and the sky needs to be dealt with. Then, on to applique...anybody out there ever done applique AFTER quilting? I'm thinking about it...

I often add applique after quilting a piece. I do landscapes and often finish my piece with fairly wide borders, then applique birch trees on the side out into the borders. I like to do this as it keeps the piece from puckering. I hope you will visit my blog as I think there are some pictures of how I do it there. just scroll back. I love your scene. Shirley
