I’m new at this and having a great time – I’m making about 20 small gifts for Christmas. My Simple Singer sewing machine is working fine – except it makes a squeaking noise as I’m sewing. Is this OK or do I need to have it looked at? (I’m reluctant to spend much money on it since I think I might want to invest in a nice embroidery/sewing machine down the road.)
In this month’s NQC LIVE, Heather Thomas discussed how to make landscape quilts proportional and how to sew fun, creative embellishments onto a quilt. Heather also answered questions about thread breakage while quilting, how to position and maneuver a large quilt while quilting, and how to work with and care for vintage fabrics.
During the April NQC LIVE, Heather Thomas discussed the different types of batting and when to use each one, how to store your thread and what needle size and type to use when piecing and quilting.
