Hi everyone: I am in a quandery. I have a quilt "business". What we do is create quilt kits (fabric choices) out of our extensive inventory of fabric which comes our way by thrift shops, quilt shops, fabric shops on-line, and the majority through quilter's stashes-Buy-outs...I keep costs down in order to expose more people to the hobby. Up till this point, I have only done quilt shows. Several people wanted me to put my one of a kind kits on-line to purchase. ...

Originally Posted by azwendyg I just finished basting a quilt sandwich to get it ready for freemotion quilting on my domestic machine.

Read on and see if this method is for you. First, I put my Warm and Natural Batting in the dryer for a bit to try and soften the wrinkles. The I spread it out on my ping pong table (we ...
Does anyone have any experience with this machine? Currently I own a 35 year old Bernina which is still a great machine. I use a walking foot with it to quilt. A dealer has a new Pfaff 1527 machine for $450 which I am considering buying. I would just like feedback from anyone who has used this machine for quilting.
This quilt was mostly made by my Aunt Shirley who passed away before it was finished. My Aunt Dawn (her sister) finished it. We was wondering what pattern it is as we can not find a pattern for it. This is truly a family treasure and any help would be appreciated... Thank you for all your help.
I am wondering how many of you create what you love instead of creating what is popular at the moment? I recently joined this Quilting Board website, and I see many quilts that are clearly the creation of the quilter, instead of what the market currently has to offer. Its refreshing to see so many sewers out there creating quilts that reflect their own style and fabric choices, instead of quilts that are found in magazine and website advertisements. In particular was a very beautiful ...
