- Quilt when you're happy! The joy shines through in your finished creation.
- Trust yourself! You instinctively know what your quilt needs next.
- Listen to music or a book while quilting! A pleasant atmosphere makes you happy (see tip one :).
- Get Comfortable! Make sure your chair/stool is set at the right height so your arms are positioned at a 90 degree angle.
- Use the highest quality materials! Every project has the potential to become your masterpiece.
- Change needle with each new project! It is one of the least expensive ways to ensure quality results.
- Choose the best tools for the job! The right machine with great stitching and the ability to use multiple types of threads makes striving for perfection an enjoyable persuit. I love my Innova! Lightning Stitch is simply the best!
- Visibility is important! Use an open toe foot and a quilting machine with a lot of clear space around the needle bar.
- Lighting makes a difference! Using the blacklight helps define texture and allows me to see where I've already quilted.
- Let your work shine! Treat your finished work like a winner and put it up for display. Just another happy moment....
