Gill, I’ve made the same mistake on one of my pieces for C&G. The white sampler made from a pillowcase. I did all the quilting with the feed dogs up. I think if you are doing mostly front to back stitching and not side to side movements it works very well and gives you more control over stitch length. Some machines don’t have the option anyway do they? I have to admit that it wasn’t either time intentional though

I think my brain has been unravelling a little just lately so I can really relate to this piece of work – I love it – well done for making me smile Ruth. I often deliberately work with the feed dogs up together with the darning foot. It give a different feel to the stitching but can be most successful on a thicker “sandwich”. If I remember (!) I’ll post a photo of a bag I made in this way.

I think as I get more senior I’m actually having more junior moments. I love the idea of the question mark – I think there’s just more questions as we age, not less. Surely that’s the best way to be?

Love the the picture. it is so telling. I work almost daily with people suffering from different typs of dementia. I love how you use the line in differnt strength as a design element. Do I ever learn to put things simple an clear?!?
