Pucker Up

 

It's a good thing I've been ironing out each block on the Zig Zag quilt before I take it over to the machine because yesterday I found a wonky seam. There was a Zig that didn't Zag and it had a big pucker. Thankfully, it was near an end so I could pull the sandwich apart, rip it out and hand sew it back together. 



To be on the safe side, I gave it a discreet stitch in the ditch for good measure. Up until then I could say that this particular machine quilting adventure had been uneventful. I'm only doing one block a day to keep from getting tired and making ugly mistakes. I'm using a very fine machine quilting thread so mistakes are not quite so noticeable because try as I might, my default meander always turns out looking like obscene graffiti.

    I hadn't been paying enough attention, and didn't realize you had gotten to the quilting stage. It looks great and I'm looking forward to the day when you hold Zig-Zag up and declare it's done.

    I like using fine thread for the quilting, too, as it is more forgiving and subtle in the effects!
