I love layer cake friendly quilts! So yes:) Beautiful! As for thread breakage and skipped stitches...I have found this to be a needle issue. Try a different size or even just a new one and see if it helps:) PS I subscribe by email, and has been a while since I had an update so came to check and I missed so much! I have had a few tell me this too....not sure why that happens.

How stinkin' cute is that? And from a "mistake" no less. Not sure what the previous layout was, but I'd have to call this kismet. :)

I agree with Jody--the Superior Threads has LOTS of valuable information about thread/needles, etc. Well worth doing some research there.

Thread is a big one, but so are needles, I free motioned a whole wall hanging, changed needles and went to free motion on my next project wight he same thread, I kept shredding and breaking, changed needles again, problem solved!! Love your quilt by the way, there is just something about the granny squares

The suggestion from Jody is a good one. It does have a lot to do with the thread and the needle. However, some machines are just finicky. I cannot use certain threads in my Viking.. just does not like it. And these same threads work wonderfully in my Jannome. It is sometimes just trial and error of what your machine likes. It is frustrating, I know - but getting the right needle with the right thread will also help. Good luck.

So pretty! I need one too!

Love this!!! It's so cute!
My sewing machine is weird, what I thought should have a lower # on tension for meandering, my machine likes a higher #. Also, like Jody said, thread is the biggest issue - I love Sulky's thread and use it for all my quilting, it never breaks and it's silky so it flows better. Good luck!! :)

I would love the pattern. This is sooo pretty!

Jody has some good tips. I usually only skip stitches when I'm going so fast. Same thing with breaking threads.

I was having issues with breaking threads, both on my serger and on my sewing machine. I just had purchased new thread from Superior Threads, I got put the new thread and put it on my serger. It was a miracle. No more broken thread. The same with my sewing machine, I change the weight of the thread. According to what I have read from Superior Threads' newsletter the weight of the thread and the proper size needle are two of the major issues that cause broken threads. If you have the time, go to Superior .threads website and read all you can about the importance of the proper thread for each kind of sewing, serging, embroidering, and any other needle art and the proper size of needle used. Hope this helps.
