Thread Painting Iggy - Actual Speed

My tagline, "Sewing at the Speed of Sound" may make you think that I am a very fast piecer and quilter. In fact, I often tell my students, that we ALL sew at the speed of sound, and sometimes it sounds faster than others. :)
I'm sharing this actual speed video of me working on a thread painting to illustrate how important it is to listen to your machine and slow down when it is asking for it! Because thread painting often means that there are lots of layers of thread to pass through, the needle is working harder and it is best to honor how things are sounding and take things slower to avoid breaking a needle or doing any potential damage to your machine.
As you watch the video, note that when I hear my needle really stick as it is passing through the layers of the quilt sandwich and thread, that I start to quilt in a more "one stitch at a time" manner until I move to another, less densely quilted area where I can speed up a bit again.
