dragonflyer was discussing circular foot V's tack method for sewing in circles. Here is a close-up of one of the squares I have made for a quilt(a UFO)I have done using the circular foot. I have used a twin needle to do quilt the pattern on the rest of the block. Shirley

This is lovely and stunning work - I say if you can do this with that circular foot - the money is well spent.

Thanks. You can get some great effects with different stitch patterns. Sometime you need to pull a little or push fabric a little to get patterns to meet. Hugs Shirley

Amazing work, I would like to try something like this tell us more about it. where you got your design? and how you when about doing it?

Calico is ironed on to iron-on batting before embroidery is done. Sew circular edging combining decorative stitches from your machine. Then embroider desgin of your choice in the centre. Then mark pattern on the outside area and sew using the twin needle. The stitches I have used in the circle are from the Janome 8 & 9000 machines. But there would be similar ones on other machines. Shirley
Thank you for telling us how you did this. I guess I know what is on my list of things to buy.

I said it once and I say it again...this is just BEAUTIFUL! I am going to definately give this a try! So, it looks like the center heart design was embroidered before you put the block together..and the circular designs were done through the batting and backing?? Never thought of using a twin needle to quilt a block either..you are so creative...thanks for sharing your beautiful work.

As a second note...can you post a picture of the back of this block so we can see how it looks finished on the back? So lovely!
Thanks for your kind words. No the batting was ironed on 1st. then I did the circular design, then embroidered the heart flower in the centre and finally the twin needle work. I don't think a picture of the back would show up very well as it is white batting and white bobbin thread. I'll take a photo, if it shows up I'll post it for you to see. Shirley. By the way has it convinced you to buy the circular foot?

Well, this quilt puts you at the top of the class for sure! The elegance of the design, the creativity of the elements of the quilt, and the precision of the stitching are amazing. I'm feeling a little jealous here...

Thank you for your kind words. I was shown how to do the twin needle work but the centre was my idea. I have 20 blocks done with different flowers in the middle. The other blocks are using lots of other techniques and may or may not ever get done LOL Shirley
