First use of the new walking foot

Pot Holder
My very first go at machine quilting on my own machine with the fantastic walking foot we found from Chatswood Sewing Centre.
The pot holders are made by sandwhiching insulated batting called "Insul-bright".
Notice the scarily accurate eye-balled diagonals
I got the parallel diagonals by using the guide that came with the walking foot. Just by chance, the distance between each diagonal perfectly matched the check in the fabric....you couldnt plan that if you tried.
and there with the binding machine sewn on - all ready and waiting for the hand stitching. I think its still waiting.
I'll post some others I've since finished in another post.
