I need @handiquilter.bsky.social to implement a Clippy-like “hey, I see you’ve run horizontal and vertical lines at 4 st/in and you’re starting a digital quilting path. Are you really still basting? You sure?” so I can go back to 10-12 st/in for the real stuff.

😂 Just shared with our engineers.

Also, what would our “Clippy” be? A bobbin with googly eyes? Batting scissors? 🤔

Excited to see how it turns out!

A rectangle image, with green line fragments that make up rectangles, quarter circle curves, and triangles. The lines simulate patchwork shapes.

A draft of my quilting path plan. I didn’t complete the lines in the shapes, to help me with connecting the shapes for the final path. Then it’s a test in ProStitcher Designer before loading on my @handiquilter.bsky.social Moxie.

Quilters are having so much fun at Thread the Needle Quilt Studio in Ontario, Canada! 🇨🇦
