Free motion quilting on my own machine

Yes

I managed to finish my first quilt quilted on my own seeing machine, my new Janome QC 6260.

I used a variegated thread.

I still need to get my sticking more even, but not bad.

It's for my daughters friend and my daughter is over the moon.

First I did in the ditch around border and the pin wheels. 

Then a 5 point star in each square

And then the border where I had fun with stars.

Prep for machine quilting

First I lay out the backing make sure it's straight.

Then I use 505 to baste and add the batting

I lay out the batting then cut roughly to fit with backing and then turn up half way 

Baste with 505 and make sure it's smooths wen I add the one half of batting

Then I turn to the other half, baste with 595 and again make sure it's smooth

Then I repeat with top making sure it is centred on batting/batting
