Ill almost bet that the Bernina will do the job for you. The slant needle has some inherent problems of its own. Great machine for most sewing projects, but wasn't designed to do out of the ordinary .

The thead quides Im talking about are on the machine by the needle. You wouldn't have the ones I was talking about on your slant.

I'm sure Sandy loved seeing you, too.  Nice to have a chance to go back and see friends.  I'm glad my daughter still lives in the DFW area so I can visit old friends when we see her.

Beautiful, Ellen.  You are almost done!  Keep going.  We want to see it at the retreat.

My goal was to have it together for retreat.  But, I have so much on the rest of this week and next week, I am not sure I will make it.

Bring it almost done, I bet it is incredible!

yes...bring it even if its not all the way done!!

just playing around with a pattern seen on FB.  Not sure that the effect was worth the effort, especially since I messed up and cut about 30 or so blocks wrong, wasting 4.5" squares (which are now 2.5" squares in my scrap bin).  Lesson learned, if you make a template that does NOT include the seam allowance, make a BIG Visible note on it because when you sleep you may forget before you finish cutting.  sigh

it does look really cute! :P 

Looks like a fun quilt. Guess you now need to figure out how to use the little squares in something else.

Well, most of the sides have a seam allowance.......  I need notes for things now too.  This morning I went grocery shopping without my phone.  Guess who wanted to reach me?  He said it won't happen again.  I thought he took my phone.  No, I found this posted on the door to the garage!
