I've been doing some research on quilting frames for machine quilting. It's very confusing. I see mixed reviews so it's hard to know what's a really good frame for home quilting. Also the cost factor is important. Does anyone have a quilting frame? Do you have a longarm machine to use with it or are you using your home sewing machine. I'd love to hear what the quilters in our forum are using. Also, where would be a good place to go to see a number of the different frames and machines being put to use? I assume I would need to attend some sort of quilting show. Of course, being in London, I'm not ready to make the plunge but I'm hoping I might be able to get one in the future.
Has anyone had any luck using their embroidery machine to quilt? I have a Janome Memorycraft 11000 here with me in London but I haven't tried using it to quilt yet.
Also, when working on a quilt like the star quilt in Jenny's new tutorial, what color thread would one use.? With the dark black background and the colorful stars, I'm not sure. I asked Jenny is she would show the "Amish quilt" to us after it's been quilted so we could see what color she used on the machine. Don't know if she'll have a chance to show it to us. We'll see.
Happy belated Mother's Day to all the Mom's in our Forum.
