I trimmed and added the binding - and sewed two sides on Thursday night in front of the TV.
I only did two sides as my hand starts to hurt a bit when gripping the needle so tightly...LOL
So, back to the machine to start the quilting on a baby quilt.
You might see a red laser line.....A few years back, at a retreat, one of the girls had a Brother machine with a laser light ....very clever I thought ...machine envy . . .
I investigated adding one to my Janome - nothing was easily available. Sometime later, I saw a Sew Q Laser light offered by an Australian retailer - at a reduced price for pre-orders, and my arm was twisted. It sat on my desk for quite some time. When I make these baby quilts, I stitch diagonally across a 2" x 6" rectangle. If I eye-ball it, it isnt always good. If I draw a line it is good. BUT - what to draw the lines in ??? I am not a fan of Frixion pens on fabrics. I like my Air Erasing pen....BUT...they disappear so I can only do a smallish amount at a time . . . .
It was time to install the laser light. I am very happy with it for the quilting.
I think it will really come into its own when I do HST...another time.

I am sure all the Scrub Stitchin' girls are hard at it now - I've seen a few facebook posts, but no one is blogging!
