Hi. Yes, it has been a long time since I’ve been on here. I did not try the method that was suggested to me.
I chose to bind the quilt with bias instead. The curved edges actually look...

Lovely trees. I like how everyone collects, makes, and has traditions. Then, when we sometimes can't do it, we find something new!
I broke my ankle right before Thanksgiving this year, but my...

It is absolutely possible to longarm small projects. :icon_cool: I do it all the time for placemats, table runners, and wall hangings (I have a couple out on Quilts.by.Me). The top is just floated...

I'm "Lovemymachines" and I like ANY excuse for a new machine if I can swing it (:-), but as a longarm quilter, I try to work on pressing heavy seams open and spinning them where necessary so that I...

Maybe you are just inspiration!
I have plans for mine, paired with some light aqua yardage. It should be delightful!

Does anyone have a beeswax method?

Where do you find sole plate covers?

I vote very pale grey too... Maybe Bella Zen Grey

Black might blend too much with the darkest in that set.

Thanks! Now I have a goal. I hear that competition quilting can be addictive.
I entered just to "put my big girl pants on" and put myself out there. I figured I would get some great feedback...

Woo Hoo! So excited quiltsRfun! (Just don't tell me if I was third place out of 3!) I am coming out to Salt Lake City for the Quilting Elevated with Handi Quilter. PM me if you would like to...

Are you really in the area? �� Have fun at the show!

The back was a surprise! About half way through I started getting excited and kept looking under my quilt rack to take a peak! I am so glad I decided on a black batik backing. I originally...

I saw MSQC is there... but I'm afraid they wouldn't know I exist! :-) I hope the show goes well for them. It looks like it is a very good size!

Here is hoping we have someone on the forum going to the Home Machine Quilt Show in Salt Lake City Utah this weekend...

Anyone!

I am so excited! I won third place in the computerized...

Same here. I'm a "longarmer", and don't use them to mark patterns on the topside, but use them most often for piecing where the market, even after "disappeared" will either be cut off, or hidden...

Yes to classical here, though I throw in Rock & Roll, Big Band, Progressive Metal, Swing, Irish Reels, Country, and just about anything else that suits me at the moment!

If you like classical,...

Yes, I press, especially when machine stitching. However, I think my binding looks "fuller when I don't. It could be my imagination...

Wonderful fills and use of space. Did you do the quilting? Free motion or computerized?

What kind of thread do you use?

I do a combo of machine binding and hand binding depending on the quilt. However, for hand binding I have been using cotton thread, pulled through beeswax to help prevent twisting and knotting.

The medallion is great. Nice Job! It will be a treasure.

I use that brand for my longarm also, but haven't tried them on my others.

I ran into this same issue once. I couldn't bear tossing the fabric (or washing ALL of it). The scent was there, but not too horrible, so I decided to store the fabric in containers with some...

No Block for me yet either. But then, my December block didn't arrive until January. : -) Still something to look forward to... Hopefully I'm not like Charlie Brown waiting for the belated...

Is anyone else having trouble entering in text for a sticker lately? I keep getting errors not he length of my text strings. I have enough, but not too much and the page gives me an error. I...
