machine quilting with a side of big stitch

I've been sitting at my machine sewing straight lines over and over and over!

I occasionally take a break and add some big stitches : )



big stitch mixed with machine stitched



It is going slow but steady…I think I am going to like it when I finish!

I recently finished a quilt similar to yours. I used my Janome's dual feed foot (similar to a walking foot) and sewed vertical lines from side to side using a fairly large scale straight stitch. The quilt turned out beautiful and I am so happy with it! I can post a picture of it if you like...

I would love to see a picture of your quilt! I haven't ever tried to use a dual feed foot, but it sounds fabulous!

How can I send you a photo? I am on Facebook and posted 2 photos of it back in August...

I really like the texture you are achieving with this combination of machine and hand stitches.
