Hang in There, Baby!
Anybody remember those posters? I have no idea why it was always a cat!
Anyway, that's what I'm trying to do. I've been wrestling that twin quilt under my sewing machine and "gettin' her done!"
Let me tell you, if you've never wrestled a larger quilt under a regular sewing machine arm, it's an event! My shoulders hurt, my arms hurt; I definitely went to bed tired last night! I did figure out that my chair was sitting a little low...about halfway through the quilting! Once I moved it up, it really helped my shoulders relax. Thank goodness for adjustable office chairs! I'm hoping to get this finished today so I can post it in WiP tomorrow. Back to work!
Absolutely! There is light at the end of that tunnel.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel! Definitely finding the right height of your chair is important. One thing that really helped me out was finally getting the gidget table so I had a flush surface for quilting. That made a world of difference.

hang in there girl!! Yes, quilting a monster quilt in a small machine is an experience to remember. Or maybe to forget... ;) Can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteI had a poster with an orange cat hanging on a tree branch in my bedroom when I was growing up. I loved it!
