Sewmarti,
thank you! I am new to this technique. I chose this background fabric as I hope to add clouds in the sky via appliqué, if I don’t find it too hard.

I really like your background fabric. Cute house!

I have not used my 10C foot yet but can I assume that I will need to use the 9mm plate and move my needle position in order to get the stitching close to the paper edge fold? I have a new Bernina 770 so I'm alittle challenged but I think the 10C foot would work.

Just happy houses

I used mine today. I think mine is just the 10 foot from an old machine. I used the single hole plate and didn’t move the needle. It worked great! I have the 770 as well.

A student yesterday in the year long local class I’m doing said the same—single hole plate, no need to move the needle.

I am going to play with it later today to see if I like it.

https://thequiltshow.com/community/my-profile/1181931-woodsies I am using the acorn precision piecing product glue . It holds those little piece in place perfectly but it does add another step

cmannconso I have a few odd windows too : I am saying the window installer showed up to work a bit tipsy . Your houses make me think of Vinci’s van go

Thanks Dawneman 1979 - Great tip that will be so useful for paper piecing in general!

Oh, this reminds me so much of my years in Africa, especially ile de la Goree in Senegal. This quilt makes me happy. The first one was a hassle, but now I have seven number 1 done. I use my regular foit A on my Elna.
