A couple of people have asked for a tutorial on the pebble quilting I've done.
There is somuchinfo out there about free motion quilting that I'm not going to cover the basics again, but along with those other links, I have a post here about them.
I figured it would just be easiest if I posted a little video of me doing the quilting. Check it out!
I hope that having a visual example is helpful! I go around each "pebble" two full times and then move onto the next pebble. Sometimes I start a third time around in order to head off into the direction I'd like. At first I thought it looked a bit sloppy, but the big picture is the key with this quilting - not each individual pebble. No one will notice if a pebble or two aren't just right.
One thing to keep in mind is to keep the size of your pebbles basically the same. Over time they can gradually grow or shrink and you want to avoid that. Unless you choose to intentionally mix it up with the pebble sizes.
Also, wind all the bobbins you can before you get started. You're seriously going to be going through some thread!
Let me know if you have questions!
