I have Bernina 820 and my free motion foot automatically drops the feed dogs. Stitches beautifully so long as I don't use the stitch regulator attachment. Anyway, your quilting look perfect here. Love the back too!Teresa Duryea Wonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17118507007452425501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-40380306736809724702015-03-29T02:08:12.437-05:002015-03-29T02:08:12.437-05:00Looks wonderful!

You can set the stitch length to zero or neutral so that they go up and down but not forward and backward. I do that, and then I don't cover them.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05981369630696737026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-2913814010092611382015-03-27T16:30:41.802-05:002015-03-27T16:30:41.802-05:00There never seems to be a shortage of new and impr...There never seems to be a shortage of new and improved when it comes to quilting, that's for sure!Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719432822327081144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-67692698344443580612015-03-27T12:03:19.373-05:002015-03-27T12:03:19.373-05:00Probably the thing I love most about quilting is t...Probably the thing I love most about quilting is that there is always something new to learn or try.

It flows beautifully and the back is very cool with the white thread! <br /><br />I never drop my feed dogs. Ever. I agree with Heather, I have heard that with some machines it doesn't work as well but my Janome prefers them up :) Leah Day recommends leaving them up. Since she was the first FMQer I encountered and it worked well. I tried both ways in practice but have never done a quilt with the feed dogs dropped.Judy@Quilt Paradigmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04853567189199120222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-37290578186892577142015-03-26T22:46:24.247-05:002015-03-26T22:46:24.247-05:00You didn't dream the 'don't drop the f...You didn't dream the 'don't drop the feed dogs tip' - I have also read that and now always keep my feeddogs engaged.I think it works better on some machines than others though.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413250760984516203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-45138813657416081962015-03-26T21:58:16.777-05:002015-03-26T21:58:16.777-05:00I think wall hanging is perfect.
