Some of the feet are the same for other brands of machines.</p><p>To begin, Lee explained the stitch plates. One has a single hole, where the needle can't be repositioned, and creates more accurate stitching. The wider hole plate is for moving the needle sideways as in zig zag sewing and free motion quilting. </p><p>The next two feet shown were the Edge Foot and the Blind Hem Foot. which have guides and are used for top stitching and perfect edges.</p><p>Feet 52-58 are Teflon coated feet which sew on vinyl and oil cloth. They lightly grip the fabric.</p><p>The open toe ft. has a wide opening for a decorative stitch. </p><p>The Roller Ball Foot, #51 does the same on oil cloth but works best on leather.</p><p>To get the same effect as a Teflon foot, you can apply a piece of matte scotch tape on the bottom of a regular foot. </p><p>The Clear Foot #52D is used for decorative stitching, satin stitch and zigzag.</p><p>Several different feet are used to ruffle and gather fabric:</p><p>The Ruffler foot makes strong pleats and uses more fabric and good for dust ruffles.</p><p>The Gathering Feet #15, and #16 are used in smaller areas. </p><p>The #39C Clear foot can guide cording to space out fabric so you can have fullness where you want it. Gymp or 12 wt. thread can be used for cording.</p><p>The Button Attachment Foot #18 attaches buttons.</p><p>The Binder Attachment Foot can feed bias tape through in one step. This foot is best used for placements, not heirloom quilts.</p><p>The Flat Felt Foot #71 can slide in already made bias tape.</p><p>The Spanish Hem Foot can sew two pieces of fabric together (side by side)</p><p>The Circle Embroidery Foot can sew any decorative stitch into a circle. Use tear-away stabilizer when using this foot.</p><p>When doing Free Motion Quilting , Lee recommends using Bernina's Stitch Regulator which keeps stitches evenly spaced.</p><p>The Ruler Foot rides against the edge of rulers and has attachments for circles.</p><p>The Walking Foot moves fabric from the top and has it's own feed dogs.</p><p>And lastly, the Free Motion Couching Foot can guide cording while doing free motion quilting.</p><p>Ellen Quillen presented Show n' Tell. </p><p>The meeting adjourned at 8:15 pm.</p><p>Happy quilting, </p><p>Elizabeth Morgan, Secretary</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>TriadMQGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02213799213865858209noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915224402831029118.post-4703081733696902332021-05-21T10:02:00.005-04:002021-05-21T10:02:48.872-04:00Triad Modern Quilt Guild - Upcoming events<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> Please mark your calendars for the following events:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">May 25, 2021 - Zoom Event</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Lee Monroe of May Chappell will be demonstrating the use of a variety of sewing machine feet.

If you need fabric or batting, contact Ann Monroe for materials. Completed quilts should be 45” - 60” by 45” - 60” (squares or rectangles). Just think, a small quilt would be the perfect size to attempt a new technique and/or domestic machine quilting!</span></p>

If it wasn’t for the women who volunteer their time, we wouldn’t have this group with whom to share our passion for fabric, thread, color, and pattern. It took us a little while to pick up programs as the pandemic dragged on, but Annalise accepted the challenge like the trooper that she is! Bethany organized our Zoom technology. Cynthia managed our money well. And swaps were arranged by Coleen; unfortunately, her efforts were derailed by the pandemic. Many thanks to these women for what they did for our guild in 2020.</span></p>

Cheryl describes her lecture:
"Those three words, “quilt as desired” strike fear in many quilters. In this lecture, I take you through a step by step process you can use to help determine which quilt design you should use on your quilt, whether you are quilting the quilt yourself or sending it out to a quilting professional. This process helps you decide between allover versus custom patterns, which designs to use, and even quilting density and thread color. I will be showing many of my quilts and discussing how I decided on the quilting designs for each."
To say "thank you" to our membership this month, we will not be charging a speaker fee for members. Anyone who is on our email list will be receiving a Zoom link for the presentation on Friday, August 21st (if you are a member, and did not receive a link by Saturday the 22nd, please email triadmqg@gmail.com). Cheryl is a national speaker and teacher at events such as QuiltCon, so don't miss out on this opportunity!
We will open the meeting to non-members, for a fee of $5.

Cheryl is an engineer and patent agent in the textile industry, but her love of textiles extends into quiltmaking. Cheryl has written a book, Modern Plus Sign, authored several patterns and tutorials, as well as mystery quilt-alongs.
This evening, we'll hear Cheryl speak about a challenge that many of us face: what do we do with the quilt after we piece it? Cheryl will walk us through the ins-and-outs of quiltings, from types of quilting patterns to thread choice. We're going to learn SO MUCH from her presentation!
Attendance will be open to members and to non-members... we'll update the blog and social media with registration details soon!
You can learn more about Cheryl at her website, here: https://meadowmistdesigns.blogspot.com/Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915224402831029118.post-64921927266952285492020-07-28T12:35:00.000-04:002020-07-28T12:35:33.160-04:00Christmas in July a Huge Success!<div>Thanks to Towona and Cynthia for the beautiful community quilts that were donated to Senior Services. </div><div>Thanks also to all the members who donated items for Senior Services Christmas in July event.
