buttonholes on Berninas by
Martha[_5_]
Specifically activa 230.
I have read the manual and looked online, and I am obviously missing
something simple.
I have re-threaded the bobbin, and put on the proper foot.

of the first.

Don't know how many of you may have been watching this:

Three female deer and two stags with antlers and a fox.

Taria[_2_]
This link was talked about at my guild this morning:
http://www.quiltsforkids.org/patterns/
You can work with their quilt kits if you like.
They have some simple kids quilt patterns at
the bottom of the page if you do this kind of stuff.
I had never heard of this group until today.

conversation prints already cut in fairly small pieces.
Unfortunately, there are no vintage solid pieces.
