The Queen has Arrived

ELNA 7300 Pro Quilting Queen

Has Arrived

I initially was so very excited.  However the box was missing the foot pedal and the manual so I am kinda bummed out, was looking forward to a fun sewing weekend.

Here she is so far

 

Fabric Cutting

Well I went out on a gamble and won.  I bought an Accuquilt Go! die and tried to adapt it to work in my Spellbinders Wizard Machine and it DOES!!!! I just needed to add the rubber pad on top of the plastic one to have enough thickness.

d 

Cost for the Go Machine is $249 Cost for the Spellbinders Machine is $109.  There is one limitation which would be i can only use dies 6" wide or less so the larger ones such as strip cutting die etc wont work on here.  Also, 

my machine will also use on many other brands of dies that can be adapted to cut 

either fabric or paper.  However I have no intentions of trying out paper on the accuquilt dies since they cost so much more than scrapbooking ones.

Celtic Medallion

Ok here is the final auditions.. The orig blue fabric i wanted to use for bias strips is old and wont hold up for applique use so had to do some rethinking.  I am now going to use a new blue for backround and the gold Stonehenge gold fabric for my bias celtic work.
