If you move the quilt too quickly your stitches will be long, and if you move your quilt too slowly the stitches will be too tiny.<br /><br />I love quilting with machingers...wouldn't quilt without them. Helps with gripping the quilt without distorting the fabric.<br /><br />As for squaring up, I square up the blocks to the smallest sized block then use my 1/4 inch foot.Rachelhttp://southernquilter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967132325525540220.post-66763509885264197802009-10-21T08:56:50.706-07:002009-10-21T08:56:50.706-07:00Very cute fabric!

I almost always have someone around us having a baby. I am thinking quilt!!! <br /><br />My tip is this, cut your scraps before you put them away so that it is easier to quickly pull them out and make something!! Of course, I prefer you wait until your next batch of scraps!!! LOL!!!<br /><br />Blessing,<br /><br />KTktquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02934371770831330403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967132325525540220.post-50806274115376972312009-10-21T05:49:54.661-07:002009-10-21T05:49:54.661-07:00cute, cute fabric!
