Finished!

My Harry Potter Quilt is FINISHED!  I finished the binding today.  I had to rip the binding out and re-do it.  I had trouble with the tension.  I think the problem laid in my walking foot.  After spending hours ripping out the binding, I tried to resew it, and had the exact same problem--major loops on the backside.  I took the walking foot off, and put the regular sewing foot on, and tried some sample sewing on a scrap.  It sewed perfectly.  So I tried the binding and again, it sewed perfectly, and the binding looked great on both sides.  I don't know what the deal is, but I probably won't be using that walking foot anymore!  I might buy a new one, but this one isn't that old, it came with the machine.  When I take my sewing machine in for its oil change,  maybe I'll take the walking foot in too and have the fix-it guy look at it.

At any rate, here is my finished Project of Doom!  Next week it will be hanging in a Quilt Show:  Quilts of Lafayette County!  (It's not a show for judging, just for showing off quilts!)
