Sorry Martine, I never can remember what I’ve tagged I should just put quilt squares then I could find them too!!! No, there is no batting, just medium weight stabiliser. When it’s all sewn up I send it to my quilter and I have the batting put in as one piece sandwiches between the top squares and the backing fabric. Then I bind the edges etc. love Chris

Hi Vicki, thanks and yes, it was fun, challenging too as I have to remember different places where things are, but I'll get there eventually. Love Chris

Hi Penny, it's a medium weight double layered as there are around 50,000 stitches in some of them. It's a tear away style. Love Chris

Thanks for the info! You get a great stitchout with that combination.

Thanks so much Laura, love Chris

Thanks Carolyn, love Chris

Wow, Martine, well that's promising. I do hope mine does as well. My old Designer 1 was in the shop every 6 months or so, but as I said previously somewhere it was a real workhorse! Love Chris

Hi Angie, yes, it's great to be able to just sew and do other things at the same time without having to constantly be listening out for the machine to play up. Love Chris

Oh, forgot. More of the same blue loveliness in your squares. It's going to be magnificent.

by pennifold 01 Sep 2018

Thanks Betsey, yes I believe it will look fabulous. Love Chris

by pennifold 01 Sep 2018

Hi Kim, yes I feel there is. The stitches seem much neater and stronger. The old Designer 1 stitches were a looser looking stitch. Thanks for commenting. Love Chris

Thanks, Chris...how do the stitches compare to your Brother machine?

by pennifold 01 Sep 2018

They are the same now! Love Chris

by pennifold 01 Sep 2018

Thanks Sarah, glad yours is doing well too. Love Chris
