I have several of my mother’s handkerchiefs of my mothers. I would like to put them into a small quilt. What weight of backing would I need among other issues I may not be aware of. I am an advanced beginner quilter

In reply to Rechelle Ivy.

Hi Rechelle. The thumping sound generally means that you have a dull needle and you should replace it. As for the hopping and moving of the walking foot- it should be moving up and down in a more “walking” manner than a regular foot (that doesn’t move at all), but it should really only be going up and down and slightly back and forth. If it is moving side to side at all you may want to consult your manual to ensure that it is installed on your machine correctly.

In reply to michelle.

Hi Michelle, I just noticed the date of this question….It looks llike an old question, but What did you end up doing for your dress? I was going to reply to check that you cut out the correct sizes for each piece….also, like the other person replied, maybe there was an intentional gather or easing that you would need to do so that the two pieces sew together. I’d love to hear your response.

In reply to Sandy Burgher. Hi, Sandy. You can follow along in all of the serger classes with any brand of machine. Even though it may not be the same brand of machine used by the instructor in the classes the practices and techniques will still be the same. You can also use your featherweight machine for any of the sewing projects as well as long as it can do basic sewing like forward and backwards straight stitching and a zig zag stitch (if needed for a certain project).
