Our world is full of people wanting shortcuts. We want to have everything and we don't want to wait -- we want what we want and we want it right now. The situation with the US financial system is certainly indicative of that...but I'm not here to talk about such an unpleasant topic!! As quilters we are no different -- we want to produce beautiful quilting and we want to do it yesterday. Now, I'll grant you that there are some prodigies in the machine quilting world, but those prodigies are pretty few and far between. The rest of us have to work at our craft, and what may look effortless is actually the result of many long years of hard work. Practice might be spelled with 8 letters, but I'm sure many people consider it a "4-letter" word -- one that you'd rather not hear in your house and try to use as little as possible. I'm here to tell you, though, that this particular "P" word and several of its friends are not as horrible as you might think, and I'd like to give you some tips and ideas about how to effectively practice. |

Here's the forum post. And here's the link to the videos on her website.
Thanks for sharing with us, Tracey! |

frog (frôg, frŏg) verb: to take out stitches from a quilt top. named for the sound a frog makes: rip-it, rip-it, rip-it 
It's a fact of life: if you are a machine quilter, you have had to frog some stitches. Maybe lots of stitches. Maybe an entire quilt full of stitches. Having to do some heavy frogging over the weekend, I got to thinking about the Art of Frogging, and thought I'd share some of my tips and tricks for successful frogging. Unfortunately, these pearls of wisdom have been gained over a long and unfortunate career of having to frog an awful lot of stitches. |
