my video debut!


my friend dory (of yurt fame) asked me how i did my knots. so i tried to think how to explain it, and well- it was as clear as mississppi mud. so- i made a video and tried to email it to her, unsuccessfully. (file to big, which i thought it would be) i decided it might be easier to post it here. (plan B) this is new territory for me so *fingers crossed* here i go....

now a few things to keep in mind:
  • i absolutely HATE the way my voice sounds recorded... (*argh*) i'm not as dorky as i sound....okay maybe alittle, but in a good way (i am as southern as i sound)
  • this is not professionally done. davis was my tripod. (bless his heart)
  • i used my camera...
  • i don't knot and bury my threads. i haven't to date. (i just heard the quilt police suck the air out of the room) i honestly think it's a preference thing.
  • when i say that i put my finger against the hopping foot, what i mean is that i use my finger like a ruler and brace the machine against it. it's easier than draggin' out a ruler every time.
  • i forgot to mention, but i'm doing pebbling, so my knot is hidden in my trace back, and conveniently, that's where my bobbin ran out. i try really hard to hide my knot in a seam or somewhere i'll be tracing back on...
this is how I do it. your welcome to elaborate and do what works for you. i know that my way is not the only way (quilt wise anyway...just kidding)

i had so much fun doing this little one- i defiantly see a full production one in my future one day....
