I find the center of the block and mark it with an X. Then place my clear acrylic template which is etched with a center X, on top of my marking.
Zipping around the template, keeping the center markings matched up. Okay maybe i don't zip...i grit my teeth.
Stitching the end which matches the beginning...
I stitch out a second circle, mark my first 2 feathers so i get the proper motion and direction...and off i go...
Once the larger feathers are finished, i add in my third circle, mark my first 2 feathers and quilt the smaller ring of feathers.
I have a bit of applique on this quilt and love my Appliquide!
And a bunch of stitch in the ditch...thankfully, that part is now finished.
More to show in a couple days!
Very pretty.....never heard of the applitude, very neat!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilting--am grateful to have long armed quilter
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. What brand circle templates do you use? I have DeLoa's Appliguide ruler.
ReplyDeleteI also love my Appliguide, and DeLoa's Boomerangs! Love your feathered circles!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm pretty! I love DeLoa's Apliguide, I think it was you who recommended it to me! I use my Gammill workstation when I need bigish circles.
