Help with yardage
#11
I don't know if this will help but there times when my machine will not go over multiple seams. Especially where they join . My trick is to put a jean jumper behind the needle put the lever down to hold it in place. Then I sew over that area until my presser foot clears that joint, usually just a few stitches. I don't know how this would work for free motion quilting on DSM however great for stitch in the ditch and grid quilting.

I am making a king size double sided quilt for a wedding/Christmas gift. It is going to be a double wedding ring quilt on one side and a double Irish chain on the other side I have the yardage for the double wedding ring the size is 93x108. I am not sure on the double Irish chain I know my colors which are dark and light blues for the squares and black for the open block. The block size will be 10 inches. I really need help with the yardage of it please I would be forever grateful.
You also don't say when this needs to be done by--remember you are actually going to be doing two large quilts by Christmas?? Maybe do the wedding quilt now and next year a Christmas quilt?

I put a 10-inch double Irish chain into EQ7 and came out with the following. I seldom rely entirely on EQ7, preferring to figure out my own yardage based on how I plan to cut the fabric, but this will give you an idea. I made the quilt back 100x120 inches, since the back needs to be bigger than the front.
