This was the quilt I attempted with my machine acting up in
every possible way. I had to accept
defeat and zip it off the frame to allow for the machine to be sent to
Johannesburg for service. What upset me
most is that it HAS been for a service locally and that this is where my
problems started.
All’s well that ends well and the technician in Johannesburg
is to be praised for his ability to fix my machine super-fast. It was wonderful to be able to stitch knowing
the tension is perfect, the stitch lengths are good and I can simply focus on
my designs.
I decided to quilt one motif in all the light background
squares and alternate motifs in the two different coloured brown squares. I
changed the thread in the brown squares to a brown on top and kept the cream in
the bobbin.
The runner is not big (78½” x 23½”) and what should have
taken me no longer than 2 afternoons, now took longer than a week.
