Usually It's pretty smooth sailing with these QAYG log cabin blocks.....
Dare I just quilt it out?? You have to understand, since these blocks are QAYG , meaning the seams are already quilted to the batting, nowhere for the bubble to go.

wow! now that's what I call a good walking foot!
ReplyDeleteI started reading this thinking that you were going to leave this as an open ended question and feeling pleased that this happens to someone else too!! Nice work Mr Walking Foot. Please can you come and live at my house???
ReplyDeleteWow impressed!
ReplyDeleteWow, amazing. i wonder how he/she did that,
ReplyDeleteGood job!
ReplyDeleteOh I would love to come and watch you work. You see things a different way than I do. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is going to be a beauty, I love the spiral quilting on it. Good work in dealing with that pucker.
ReplyDeleteImpressive outcome! Sometimes looking at that looseness just gives a sinking feeling. But the walking foot was up to the task. Looking good.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you were able to conquer the excess fabric! When this happens to me, sometimes I get my iron out, turn it on full steam and try to shrink the fabric a bit.
ReplyDeleteI love that you show us the process - struggles and all, and then the great outcome. What an encouragement. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Barb.....the struggles are all part of it.
DeleteAmazing - a lesson to us all, thanks!

Good that you had faith in your Bernina, I might have stopped and ripped. Looks super!
ReplyDeleteI ditto what Chris said...I probably would have gotten the ripper out...or just chucked that block in the corner and started over...LOL
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing your walking foot smoothed it out that much :)
Well I knew that was a fabulous walking foot but now I'm wondering how my other machines would handle that huge bubble.
DeleteThat is amazing!! I just love your work!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteAnother gorgeous quilt. So glad the bubble disappeared. It looked rather intimidating, I must say!
ReplyDeleteNot so sure my walking foot would have been as successful! It looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThat was so cool to watch - thanks for sharing! I never would have attempted that. Good to know what's possible.
ReplyDeleteGlad the bubble was quilted out....if it happens again - steam the heck out of it, and it should shrink up enough to get rid of the bubble. :-)
ReplyDeleteI looked at the first couple of pictures and said NO WAY. I'm amazed that that big a pucker could be stitched out. Now, of course, another reason why I NEED a Bernina!
ReplyDeleteWish I could do that with my puckers! Maybe it is time for an upgrade.
ReplyDeleteI am on my lunch break surfing quilting blogs and came across yours. Your work is amazing! Can't wait to watch your QAYG technique when I am at home and use it on my next quilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.
DeleteFabulous! Instills a little hope in me for the next time I encounter a pucker. Is it your skill or the Bernina or both ?
ReplyDeleteWow, I wouldn't have bet on that result! :)
ReplyDeleteSo so beautiful!

DeleteWow, I am shocked at the "during" and "after" pix. Never would have guessed you would have such a great outcome. TFS! I Love, love, love your blog and your work!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Liz....I was rather surprised myself.
ReplyDeleteI just tried this method on my little mini and it worked great- thanks for the inspiration!!!
