Place mats for practice is a good idea! Is there a special foot that lets you do that jigsaw type quilting lines or do you need a special machine?

Someday I want to make a crazy quilt. Should be easy for me... you know, crazy.

If she uses plain cotton and single-thickness batting it should be fine. I just have a regular machine, but I have a couple special feet to make things easier.

It's going to be a great big tedious project, but I don't think it will be hard. Although making a few placemats for practice wouldn't hurt.

I think i have some different feet too.
Ill have to pull out the box of sewing stuff I got too and have a look see!

Campin, dont you think that is a hard first project ?  I have hand sewn the quilts because depending on how thick they are its not an easy thing to feed them through the machine.  Did you get a heavy duty machine Kiki ?

Straight lines are pretty easy with any foot. I use a scant-quarter foot for piecing and a walking foot for quilting. You need a spring foot or hopping foot for the curvy stuff, or the free motion quilting. I finally bought the foot, but haven't tried it yet.

see how these are a solid color and have the stiching designs?
I like this...
A plain color with just a straight line stitch...
that can't be that hard right?

Straight lines have a tendency to wander. You'll have to mark it out and pay attention.

Camping, a spring foot or hopping foot will do this?

Maybe instead of making a crazy quilt, I can finish one block. So much work in each one. Look at this one!
