Happy Mothers Day

My new baby arrives!!!

My new baby is a Juki industrial sewing machine. It came in three boxes and was assembled in our foyer.

Ta Dah!!! Isn't it a beauty?

It is like driving a very fast sexy sports car. Top speed is 5500 stitches per minute.

Strip piecing here I come! Watch out I am a wild women!

I am working on perfect 1/4 inch seam allowances while going full speed....well maybe not full speed. I don't have a 1/4 inch guide foot (yet) so this is a little tricky. Then.....my quilting friend Vreni gave me a great tip. Place a magnet on the throat plate at the 1/4 inch mark. The magnet sticks to the metal and works as a perfect seam guide!!! Wah Who!!! Full speed ahead!
