i managed to complete the patchwork within a day. . but the hardest part was of course the quilting part. being lazy me , i thought i can just stitch the whole quilt without basting. and i dont event have any darning foot with this machine! this is an ultimate beginner machine and sadly of couse she couldnt handle the thickness. the whole fabric is is wide and long while my bb#2 is soo small to compare with. i tried to run the stitch freely but in the end , the top and bottom was all separated looking horribaly ugly. the edge looked all senget and weird but the stupid thing was i keep on sewing. hahah makezugirainandakara! . after few run , i was too tired and all tense with the result. i stopped and kept the unfinished quilt in the closet and started a new project instead – which was my hat.
i kept neglecting the quilt until almost one week later . i felt sorry for not finishing the project that ive started. Thinking thereis no way i can continue the quilting part, i removed all the stitches one by one. it felt like forever since there were quite a lot of stitches .finally when i was done , i bind all the edges. when i first started the quilt my initial plan was to handsew the binding, but since i was too tired from the removing work, i gave up and machinestitch the binding instead.
phew this was the longest and hardest project that ive ever made. But seeing how Ayra loves it sooo much, rolling over soon as i lay the quilt on the floor, was priceless. i dont think ill be making any quilt more soon , but if ada rezeki for 2nd baby, insyaAllah, will try for 2nd time. hehe
quilt without any quilting technique. lol can it still be called quilt?
