Traffic Jam Is Completed
"Traffic Jam" was made from a free pattern on Pat Sloan's blog.
This is the first project I attempted on the new longarm machine. What a disaster!
Not knowing what I was doing, it was in manual mode and the speed was set too fast.
I was completely out of control, my loops were lopsided and the stitches were way too long.
The quilting looked awful, so I picked out several of the worst areas. Then I requilted most of it,
filling in bare areas and adding an extra small loop inside some of the huge ones. After that, I washed
the quilt and put it in the dryer to give it a crinkled look. It's better than it was in the first place, it'll have to do.
There is a learning curve with longarm free motion quilting. I hope I get better at it with experience.
