Demo this Month

I was reminded this weekend that we had voted to begin the demos at the October meeting. So, the first demo will be:  So, you have a walking foot??  Or something like that. We will talk about pin basting, spray basting, and how to treat the quilt when doing straight line quilting with a walking foot. I will need 2 tables dedicated to this demo and I will start at 6:30.
