I love the Jacquard paint too. One day I just picked up a bunch of different brands of paint that you can use on fabric and I loved this one best. Sometimes I get worried about the amount of time you are spending quilting on a domestic machine. Have you managed to find a way to do it without having to bend over to see your work closely? I get terrible neck and shoulder pain and it hurts my wrists incredibly.
@MsKathy07 - Honestly painting hurts my body far worse than free motion quilting. I always sit so I can keep my back straight and my hands at right angles to the quilt so it's easier to move.
For painting, I can't help but hold the same position for hours on end as I work on sections of my quilt. Last week I had horrible neck and shoulder pain from the hours of tedious painting. I'm looking forward to this quilt getting finished soon!
