When I got home from the Guild meeting, I snuggled with the pups for a few minutes and then went to the basement to try and finish the quilt on the frame.
I used an orange and yellow variegated Connecting Threads Essentials thread on the top and a Bottom Line in the bobbin and I definitely had issues with the upper thread breaking. I think it is a combination of the batting and not having the spool attachment for the machine. I am getting one of the attachments this weekend!
In trying to use some things up, I used a poly batting on the charity quilts. They are nice and puffy!
I just quilted loops on this one.
I picked up another kid quilt and 2 QOVs to be quilted this month. More practice!
See what others have on their design walls here.

Love the orange!!!
Such a bright quilt! I am sure it will be loved.
The loops leave it nice and puffy. Soon I have to stop piecing and start practicing quilting too.
Looks great! I bet you're amazed how quickly it quilts up with the extra throat space!
Love the brights!You handing out sunglasses with that orange?? lol (I did that once with a baby quilt! too funny!) I seem to have more trouble with different backings than anything else. Just the 'getting to know you blues' Your quilting looks great!
That is a bright quilt!
I love the bright colors. It is really a great quilt.
I bet you're having fun getting to know your new machine.
LOVE the orange!
