Flourishing Palms: More Machine Quilting

More Machine Quilting

Still machine quilting. Now I've begun the feathers. But look!

When quilted with black thread, the design is barely visible.

Quilted with a light cream-colored thread, the design is more apparent.

I think I prefer the light cream, don't you?

I also prefer the cream colored quilting as it shows off the feathers so much better. Lovely!

Yes, definitely the lighter thread. (I, on the other hand, would have needed to use the black since my machine quilting is nowhere near as steady as yours!)

Homemade Basting Spray

3 cups water

1 tsp. salt

3 heaping TBLS. flour

1 cup rubbing alcohol (Vodka works too and makes the spray odorless)

1 clean 24-ounce spray bottle

A 16.9-ounce Best Press bottle works; 2 bottles will be needed.

Combine 2 cups water and 1 tsp. salt in a pot; bring to a boil.

Combine 1 cup water and 3 heaping TBLS. flour in a jar or well sealed tupperware; shake to mix. When the water and salt boils, lower temperature to a gentle boil; add flour and water. Cook on medium heat until the mixture thickens like gravy. Stir it so it doesn't stick. Remove from heat. Let cool to room temperature. When mixture is cool, pour it into the spray bottle. Add 1 cup rubbing alcohol or vodka. Shake well to mix.
