It truly does! And here is the fabric I feel I have created by adding texture through Free Motion Quilting on my little machine!
It started out as a piece of solid Kona Ruby red fabric yesterday. I was using a pattern from Leah Day's Free Motion Quilting Programme and actually it is one of the intermediate/advanced pattern's called Wind stitch.
It is not perfect but I am keen to break free from my little sample squares and unleash my FMQ on my work - I think it is the only way I am going to improve!
I learnt why it is up a level from the beginner patterns we have been doing - I spent a lot of time travelling from one area to another, I had trouble keeping my lines straight and parallel but hopefullly as you gallop past on a prancing pony you will not notice these mistakes! Yeeha! (Oh and do feel free to slap your thigh as you say this)
Now I have the two quilted sides of my next cushion and all I have to do is buy a zip on Monday which will match the red and then the cushion can be put together and finished. Another UFO shot down! Bang!
Ah that will feel great !
