Hi there, I was just wondering how you do all the quilting for the things you've made?? I just got a newer sewing machine (for FREE!! ) and I haven't tried to sew anything with it yet, but I want to and I think the quilting is really cute! I thought others might want to know too that's why I didn't PM you.

Thanks!!

I am not 100% positive, but I think she bought prequilted fabric.

Everything I've sewn so far is pre-quilted except for the John Deere tag blanket. I did quilt that myself and it was simply a matter of making that first line of stitching and then measuring off from that to make the lines about an inch apart...then I turned the fabric in the other direction and did the same in order to make the squares.

I haven't attempted quilting my own material for the purses and don't know that I will.
