The other day, I shared my dilemma with my little shoo fly quilt. It was an early long arming victim of mine and I wanted to save it. I am quite happy to say that I was able to add quilting on my domestic machine and the bagginess in the border that bothered me so is gone!
Here is a reminder of what it looked like before.
I used a slightly darker thread than I had used on the feathers and I did a small stipple around it. I loved the echo and beadboard quilting ideas but my free motion skill on the domestic machine has greatly deteriorated since getting the long arm! Here are close ups.
I was sure I would need to redo the binding at least but that turned out just fine as well.
Thanks for all of your suggestions and ideas. I procrastinated on doing this forever because I wasn’t sure how to tackle it. Now, a year and a half later, it finally feels finished!
Linking up with Sew Can She for Show Off Saturday.

I think it turned out wonderful!
It sure did! It looks wonderful! Nice save.
it looks great – if we give it enough time our brain comes up with a solution – even if it is “ask somebody else!”
great job
