welcome to hand quilting fundamentals - say hi before May 4
Hey everyone, Morgan here. Glad you signed up. Week 1 we're just doing the running stitch on scrap fabric, no project pressure, so you can get your hands used to the rhythm before we cut into anything that matters. Bring a hoop if you've got one, if not we'll figure it out. Introduce yourself below, tell me why you're here. Bored, broke, grandma's old hoop in a closet, whatever it is, I want to hear it.
So hi everyone, i'm Justin, 30.
Gregory here, from Ridgeline! Signed up cause Tiffany wants a quilted thing for the cellar shelves lol. Never done anything like this before so I'm kinda nervous, not gonna lie.
Jerry here, Quail Ridge!
Kelton here, over by Suncrest lol.
Brandon here, Gerenwood neighborhood. figured i should finally learn something like this, dont even have a hoop lol
James here, over by Orchard Row. got zero hoops, zero anything just needed something to do with my hands that isnt a laptop for once 😭 Brandon, hard same on "should finally learn" lol, no hoop either, we'll figure it out i guess Thanks guys
bless James "something to do with my hands that isnt a laptop" is so real lol. class is over now but honestly still working the running stitch at home, missing Mondays already 🙈
Justin, thats exactly the point of it, honestly. running stitch isn't a one-and-done skill, its a lifetime of small corrections. glad you're still at the kitchen table with it. im missing Mondays to, keeping fingers crossed for a fall session so we can all get back to it
found this thread late lol... same, i miss Mondays too, that little square is sitting on my nightstand now 💛
Kristy, no such thing as "found it late," you're right on time. that little square on you're nightstand is basically doing the same job my first bowed-up potato chip block did, it's just proof you sat theer and made your hands do something new. keep it out where you see it, even half finished. i miss Mondays to, more than I expected to. fingers crossed for fall so we're all back at the the kitchen table together.
