I've been trying to quilt the other one with the BSR (Bernina Stitch Regulator) but it was slow going, but I recently had an old Singer machine redone so it has no feed dogs and a permanent quilting foot. Ron at Cote Brothers had designed his Cote Quilter10 that way, and he did a great job for me so I could put it on my Handi Quilter frame I've had for years.. Now if I can get used to the foot pedal and keep an even speed..

What a brilliant idea! I am now kicking myself for getting rid of my two old Singers! Silly me! There will be no stopping you now!
sorry.. never got notified of comments. :((
I am finding it challenging to learn the correct foot pressure and speed for moving the machine to get the shapes I want. Some of the little leaves I am attempting are turning out a bit squarish or strange.. but I soldier on, lol. I've finished one side border and have rolled the quilt to start another area. At this rate I may be finished by 2010. LOL
Once I get the hang of it, I think I will love doing this, but at present there are lots of unfinished projects cluttering the table under the quilt so I can't move the machine. Time to clean up a bit, methinks...
Looks like a great set up!
Thanks, Cheryl. Right now it's piled up with projects, lol.. but I plan to get back to it this week. I'm using the BSR to add stippling to the Delectable Mts quilt because I didn't quilt those embroidered feather motifs close enough together. Live and learn, lol.
