I only use a featherweight also and I started using Alex's 80 in the bobbin without trouble--love it. Wonder what the problem is??

Looking online for baskets I like the looks of. Drafting them in EQ8 for the practice and this a table runner idea. Having fun.
They are 10 inch squares and I found them on a website called Piecemeal Quilts. They were part of baskets of the month.

Just getting started (had to finish my fall table topper so I could swap out the black thread for cream). Two blocks done!! Gonna make all with blue baskets and whatever I feel like up top.

A little late to start, but had to finish the fall table topper so I could swap out my black thread for cream. Got my first two blocks done. Thinking of using blue for the baskets and whatever hits me for the top.

Here are my first 2 blocks and my antique irons. I was in Maine at Moosehead Lake last week, so excited to finally get to sew baskets

Finished sewing all the squares together.

I have made these three blocks. My first came out a bit smaller than 6-1/2 inches unfinished using the mat. I decided on my second block to use my 1/4 inch that I had perfected. Came out closer to the desired size. The third block that I made tonight came out really well. Had so much fun and was relaxed. It will take me some practice to use the mat although I did move it on my machine so it would be more "true" to my 1/4 inch. I think it will be fabulous as I use it more. I love the tips that Alex gave us on Basket G: her pinning of seams and being able to peek under; taking the needle out at the last minute in front of the presser foot was fabulous! Also opening seams with 6 or more layers of fabric. Worked absolutely great!

Sorry but I cannot get my JPG picture to insert. Not sure why! Late. Will try tomorrow.
