Originally posted by dogquilterSome people call it obsession, I consider it passion. I love sewing and I find it very relaxing. With my broken leg I can't drive so I have been home a lot more than usual. I was able to do hand piecing on many of my blocks.
Sewing is so my escape to happy place and you all here validate that it is so much more than a hobby.

I've printed as many patterns for paper piecing as I can.
I don't know how to change the pattern lines like we need to in A-12 so will trace my own pp pattern. :? Does anyone know how to do that w/ the software CD?
I see I have a lot of work cut out for me this month - not so many for pp. Nearly in a cold-sweat over hand-piecing.I'll work my hardest to MP A-10.
My hand appliqué was just fine last month so that isn't a problem. I should get some of those blocks ready to take on Tuesday (mammo day).Jules~

In the software it says to click on the start over button while in the print block section. There are three seperate areas when you pull up the print block. On the top of the pop up, numbering, sections, options. When in sections there is a start over click button. In the options section there is a line thickness choice towards the bottom. I hope this helps. If I am totally off, sorry.Jules~

Judy, I understand what you are saying. But that still uses the lines the software put in for pieces. Our paper suggests taking out a few seams and I don't know how to do that on the software. Do you?
A-9: when printing the pp pattern, the coloring for some pieces is wrong. On the center, the last 4 triangles are supposed to be dark. Compare it with your book. (I took out that extra seam like our instructions say.) Love this block!!
I'm MP A-10 and just need to do the corner miter next. Then the HA.

Wow! What a learning experience. Paper piecing is not something I was looking to become proficient with, but Jane is leaving me no choice. Most of my first row is done and the first 2 triangles, but some of them are pretty wonky. One, for sure, is a 'do over' and I have not decided about another.
Since I have a Mac and can't use the DJ sofware I bought, I would be happy to make a deal with anyone who is interested in having it. So if you are Dear Jane-ing and think the software and it's 243 page manual would make your life easier, drop me an email and we can work something out.
Meanwhile, they are probably packaging up the next batch of fabric, and I am so far behind :shock:

Mapster, you're doing great. I haven't finished the triangles from Jan yet. I have made several of the February blocks, rushing to finish before the March fabrics come in. I just printed out three templates from the cd, I'm ready to go hand piece a few blocks this afternoon.
I would certainly make you an offer on your CD if I hadn't already purchased mine, it's a treasure.Jules~

Hey girls -- I am new to this forum but have considered the Dear Jane project for quite some time. Today I was in Laramie, WY for a soccer tourney for DD and my lovely DH stopped at two quilt shops. The 2nd shop was having a first Sat. sale and low and behold there was a DH book on the rack for 30% off, and it literally said, "take me home with you".
My question is, would you all recommend getting the CD or not? Is it really helpful? I am very excited to start this project and intend to make it scrappy to a degree.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Before EQ came out with their DJ software, I had most of all the blocks , but not the triangles, drafted by hand on my regular electric quilt software. Even though, I have received much benefit from the software. As someone said earlier, with DJ, you find yourself doing a lot of paper piecing. With the DJ software, you can easily print out the paper pattern. For me, the price of the software is well worth it in my time savings.
With that said, the DJ software does not let you re draw the blocks. I find that quite limiting and I frequently re-draft the block in regular EQ.
Good Luck, enjoy your DJ journey.
Dogquilter, I am looking forward to seeing your blocks. I keep saying that I am going to get mine out of their shoebox, but other things keep getting in line first!

I'm back girls!!
I finished my Feb blocks yesterday and started on March. Oh Boy!! I did the easy first one w/ paper piecing and have 3/4 of the next one reverse appliqued. I hope it is OK. Those points on the diamonds are tiny and sharp! B4 & B5
I'm so glad to have this going again. My goal is to be done with Mar-Apr-May before June comes.
I'm heading out to quilt shops with a friend today so that takes out today for sewing! :wink: I'm making some emb pillows for said friend's birthday next week and also have to squeeze in 2 great niece quilts. Hmmm....Jules~
