I posted about a wall hanging I'm working on last week. I was going to use that to practice my first machine quilting. After getting it all put together, though, I didn't want it to be my first attempt, because I figured I'd mess it up. So I decided to throw together a little mug rug and quilt that first.
It actually went together very easily, especially since I just used scraps from my stash. I used my walking foot to quilt straight lines about a half an inch apart. I used the thread that I want to use on my wall hanging so I could get the feel of it. I think the quilting itself went pretty well.
Not the prettiest thing in the world, but its just a practice run.
So then today I decided to bind this little mug rug. I measured, cut, pressed, and pinned... everything set. The sewing itself went really well with my walking foot. And when I was done I went to pin the binding to the other side and start my hand sewing... Then I realized something was a bit wrong...

I don't see a problem at all!! keep working at it...liking it is what makes it easy.....
Whoops! Sometimes, if I'm really grooving to whatever's on my iPod while I'm sewing, I still have those moments where I do something like that. My seam ripper and I are really tight. :)
