New Addiction

It was bath day for the cat.  Always traumatic.  For both of us.  I tend to have a reward in mind for myself before beginning the dangerous feline ablutions.  Today, the reward was time on the new sewing computer with a quilt sandwich in Anna Maria Horner's Innocent Crush.  (Same one the cat tried to sabotage the other day.  See last post.)

This is my very first foray into free motion quilting.  And there may be a problem.  I think this could be addictive.  Seriously addictive.  Of course, there is a learning curve.  And it can be frustrating at first.  But the meandering lines were simple enough.  It's all a matter of getting the speed of your hands and the speed of your machine in sync.  I found that it works best if you keep yourself on the verge of losing control.  Too slow and it becomes stilted.  Too fast and you'll have a lot to grumble about.  But if you get the rhythm of it right...things happen.  The kind of things you want to have happening again and again.
