The secret is out!
Tuesday, October 11, 2011 at 6:26AM Well that didn’t last long! Judy and Judy (lol) both guessed right… I have ordered the IntelliQuilter for my longarm. I said I wouldn’t, and even thought I really wanted one, I didn’t want to make the investment.
I’ve been doing a lot of machine embroidery lately though, and realized just how much I love it. Jim and I discussed it and agreed that I could take my quilting to a whole new level by going computerized… and for everyday quilting like pantograph’s, save my back and feet.
What started this… I downloaded the demo of Art and Stitch software, which is extremely intuitive for me to use, because it’s very similar to my Bernina embroidery software. When I saw that I could draw, import, or scan and trace a design, and convert it to a format that the IntelliQuilter could then stitch out, I was hooked!
How incredible… I love to make embroidered quilts, and now I will be able to make matching quilt motifs to my designs! I will also be able to import my quilts designed in EQ as background images, and design my quilting right on top of the image! Way cool!
So that’s my secret… I’m on the waiting list for an IntelliQuilter, and hopefully sometime in mid December it will arrive!
