MINI QUILTING

I know that I have mentioned many times that free motion quilting is just not something I have been able to wrap my brain around.   I have a Bernina 750 QE and it has a stitch regulator with it.  Still I have not been able to manage very well.  However,  mini quilting is something I find in many places I would like to do.  
Low and behold Bernina had a solution for me in a tutorial on one of their sites.  All the fancy stitches this machine has can be used to duplicate mini quilting.  
So I began to check out some of the suggested stitches.  I tried some out with different stitch lengths too.  
And what do you know.  This is the answer, at least for me.  I have made my self this collection of stitches and marked the stitch lengths that appealed to me most.  I even tried lining them up to see how they could cover an area.  There is more than one way to tackle my disability and it would seem that the Bernina company knows there must be at least one or two more like me.  Off to quilt now!

  8. That little curlique stitch is adorable! I have the same machine as you, and I have been so busy with other techniques that I haven't even begun too explore the decorative stitch options. Good for you, and thanks for sharing!

  10. I sew and quilt on a straight-stitch machine, but I often wish I could quilt with a stretched-out serpentine stitch. It must be nice to have so many options -- have fun with them!
