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!)
