Completely Finished




I know I posted a picture of my T for Temperance quilt top last week but now it's a finish   I decided to use the mock quilting stitch on my Bernina.  I hadn't used this stitch in a long time because it can be tricky and only works for me with certain battings, thread, needles, tension, etc.  It is always a trial and error to see if it will give a decent stitch.  It's not too bad this time and I may try it again on the mini quilts.



If any of you readers have tried the mock quilting stitch and have suggestions, I would love to hear from you.  I used Warm and Natural, Aurifil 50 thread, #90 needle, Sulky Invisible thread, and tension at 6.

This is my January finish for Kathleen Tracy's One Small Quilt a Month Challenge.

Enjoy all the pieces of your life,

I wish other manufacturers of sewing machines could offer the mock quilting stitch! I love the look, and your mini!
