And.... how is the quilting going?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
And.... how is the quilting going?
Had storms last night, so it is on the frame and I will be starting the quilting today. Going to do a flower panto in the center part and freehand around the applique in the borders. Just oiled the machine and it is warming up, so should be starting in just a few minutes!Originally Posted by thimblebug6000
I just finished quilting one like this. You will need to quilt loosely. In other words, not too close together. If to close together may be stiff and not puffy. It will not be as puffy as a store bought comforter. Have fun..

Many years ago before I knew anything about quilting.... I made my son's quilts with two layers of high loft batting. I also hand quilted it. He still has them. It's more like a comforter than a quilt.
We would worry less about what others think of us if we realized how seldom they do.
I just ordered 4 hOBS 20/ 80 FROM CONNECTING THREADS AT 30% OFF.
I'm glad you asked, since I was wondering the same thing. I bought some "high loft" but it didn't seem very thick to me, so I thought of combining with Warm and Natural.

I always try anything I think may work. If it sounds like good common sense go for it. I tried putting extra poly fabric in back of some fish in a quilt and used warm and natural for the entire quilt. It doesn't look as puffy as I wanted but it looks pretty good.
Create something beautiful from scraps.
What do we use if we want the quilt to be puffy, like the ones we buy at the store? I'm thinking of the comforters that are so lofty.
