      Thanks. Yes already subscribed. I tried block 1. And like you say about yourself I don’t do straight lines however I do like them to be reasonable, I found my lines wiggling too much into another section and so when complete I went over with sharpie, that led to a thicker black line in some sections - I just can’t win! I would like to show you my block but not sure how to send. I have your fb page too. Btw can’t wait for 2nd block I’m determined to improve 😄 thanks

    • @HelenGoddenQuilts
      @HelenGoddenQuilts  4 года назад

      So slow the machine down to half speed and move your hands the speed they wish to go. If your stitches still look too small, slow machine even further. Adjust your machine to suit the confidence of your hands.

  • @chickadee04287
    @chickadee04287 4 года назад +1

    Helen, I just discovered your quilt-a-long. It looks intriguing! When you color the block with Inktense pencils, do you wet the fabric after or just leave it dry?

    • @HelenGoddenQuilts
      @HelenGoddenQuilts  4 года назад +1

      You colour in with the pencil and paint over with a wet brush to dissolve the pigment into the fabric, a bit like watercolours.
