    These are the notes I've written and put in my BSR box. Set the lower tension to 0 (sometimes I have it on 1). Shorten the stitch length to 1.5. Adjust the presser foot tension two clicks (so there is less pressure). Feed dogs down. I prefer Mode 1 which provides constant power to the needle. When I started, I used Mode 2 (power to the needle only when fabric moves), but I found I was very jerky when I used that mode. Hope that helps.

        Chickadee, I love your house. The sheep are darling. And I love your name, if Chickadee is your name.

          I just finished (well, after I took the photo I realized I'd forgotten the wings on the birds...) the center block, minus the border. I'm still playing with colors for the nine-patch blocks but I really have to get moving with this or it could take forever to finish Month One. :S

          This is my Christmas quilt, half-size. Don't know whether I'll go all the way to Month 12 or will stop when I like it as a wall hanging. However, I had never done needle turn applique' before and am now loving it! After watching a few good videos and receiving great advice from you all, I'm now on a roll! :silly: I learned some good embroidery skills from my mother while growing up in Italy (she threatened to send me to the nuns to learn if I did not pay attention to what she was teaching me), but had not picked up a needle since I was quite young. I was surprised... it's like riding a bicycle, you pick it up again easily, without the scraped knees! The details are far from perfect, but I'm sure I'll get better as I practice. In the meantime, I must say I am really having fun. :woohoo:

            Renata, it's great. I love the kitten. And your trees are delicate - good going, girl!

              Thank you, Terrie! In the spirit of proper attribution, I purchased Lynette Anderson's book, Stitch it for Christmas in the hope of finding blocks that would be good substitutes since I'm doing a Christmas quilt. The trees are in her book and I thought they were perfect for this block. The cat was a cutout from a piece of fabric and he kind of looks like my cat.

                          Chickadee your block is looking terrific! I too love what you have done with the sheep - I might just have to go away and have that idea myself

                          Renata, your block is simply divine! I love everything about it. I love that variation on the trees and your cat on the lawn, perfect. Thank goodness for your mother's determination and your perseverance.

                            Renata, your block is so lovely! and I should say this for all the blocks I've seen so far. Everyone is so original.
