    Default Need some advice.

    I was thinking I would try to hand quilt a UFO I have had for several years now. I have never tried to hand quilt an actual quilt quilt. I finished a wall hanging someone gave me several years ago (pic in my sewing room pictures) ;it has hot air balloons on it; but that is it. I bought a "Fan frame" on E-Bay several years back but have never used it. I have set it up and it seems like it would work but I am not sure even how to get the quilt started. Does anyone own or have you used the fan quilt frame before? I bought my own rails which are 1 1/4" 6 ' dowels that are heavy duty and straight. Then I added the cable thinking it would give the frame more stability (works great too). I know I probably need leaders but I am at odds as to how to attach them straight. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My UFO is a Sun Bonnet Sue quilt I made but have never finished it is a little bigger than a twin size.

    Thanks in advance.
    Hugs from Ky
