The last time I showed you the BarBQ tool holder, I was working on the quilting lines. It was my first time using the walking foot on my new to me Bernina machine.

I hope you can see this as the silver part that you measure your width of quilting lines is hard to see in the photo. It’s to the left of the foot. All you have to do is keep that silver piece in line with the prior row of stitching and then you will have even spacing between your quilting lines. It worked just fine. But it seemed to take forever. This is one of the reasons that I never care for straight sewing, seams or sewing clothing. I much prefer free motion stitching as it keeps my mind engaged. When I do straight stitching like this, my mind tends to wander which isn’t a good thing when machine sewing. But I managed to get the entire piece quilted without any huge errors.

Next up, I figured out how wide the pockets needed to be. I folded up the bottom edge and stitched along the quilting lines to make the pocket seams. I was a bit worried about the thickness but the sewing machine tackled it with no problems.

So here’s my finished BarBQ tool roll all tied up and ready to go in the camper. As Ann B. pointed out in my last post, this qualifies for the 1st Quarter Challenge. Better late than never!
