BEFORE
Waaayyyy before...side extensions are out...they can tuck and slide under to be even with the middle layer shown.
AFTER
Staged, of course...
I finished my table mat.
No design, no piecing, just a simple 3 layer sandwich. I would say I practiced machine quilting with it, but in reality I simple sewed enough lines to be sure it stays together through time.....
Sometimes you just have to be practical. I needed the mat Now, I didn't want to be creative.....Maybe I'll make another one later on with a little more pizazz....
Oh, BTW, I am linking up with Amy's One Thing One Week this coming Monday...I just finished this one early....
Practical is a good thing - don't want to break too long from that sewing!
ReplyDeleteI use hubby's grandmothers table, but, I put green cutting mats down, under the machine. Your way works, too. Good job.
ReplyDeleteWell done!! What a great idea--I sew on a dining table too. :-)
ReplyDeleteIs the black machine an old Singer, BTW? A friend's mum has one and when I was shown it, the inside of the box smells *divine*.
