​​Sharing my BERNINA Q20 long arm efforts today with the scrappy K Fasset quilt my youngest daughter put together in kinda random strip piecing to use up left over fabric from her wedding napkins. I finally was able to get it on my frame ! I hope she loves what I did to it. I also binded it by machine for her as she is busy with her 18 month old baby. I used a floral patterned pants and then reduced it in size and alternated large & small designs 8” &3 “ just to make it texturally interesting. I love that with quilting you can learn something with each project. Take a gander at my pics below:

I held another small Quiltingintheloft Studio class recently where we worked on the Enclosed Zipper Bag and ended up learning how to attach a zipper bag into the lining of the actual bag.  This created 3 interior pockets.  It also included using a lobster claw as a unique closing fixture.  I quilted my fabric up on the BERNINA 790 PRO.  You can use the ZIPPER FOOT #4/4D designed to stitch next to zipper coils, this foot requires the use of a far right or far left needle position. There is no problem at all going through thickness of fabric with this machine.  It handles it all smoothy.  Some pictures to date from the finished bags from the day long workshop are below:

​Are you using some or any of your decorative stitches on your sewing machine? 
If your thoughts are a bit vague or it's a no on this subject then this blog article is written just for you and the CREATE Wall Hanging might be just the project you are looking for.  ​It's my sincere hope that you will start exploring all of your sewing machine's potential and why not start with decorative stitches?
