What do you use to keep a rolled quilt rolled while working on the sewing machine? I have tried clips of various kinds but they always get struck on some part of the machine. Any ideas?

Re: What do you use?
I took a FMQ class at my LQS and the instructor taught us to "puddle" the quilt. This works better for me as I find rolling the sides makes it a pretty rigid roll and makes it more difficult to feed thru the throat of my machine

I never roll. That is to hard to handle. I use the squish and push method, or puddle...whatever you wan to call it. Check out Leah Days tut on how to quilt a large quilt on a home domestic machine. Really worth watching. If you roll it into a log it is just to hard to maneuver and handle.Blankets wrap you in warmth, quilts wrap you in love

I sure wish I could find a tutorial where they are showing how to do a fancy stitch top quilt at least a twin size quilt so we could get better ideas. I can do the straight stitch or SITD, that's easy, but what about the decorative stitch designs and all those that Leah Day does! All I have ever seen is them doing it on a lap size piece.. and that is easy. But all that bulk in the throat of a regular machine from a twin or larger and they say to just stuff it back in there...there is only so much space to stuff it in! What happens when there is no more room to stuff?Last edited by coffeebreak; January 20, 2014, 03:30 PM.
