For those of you who both hand and machine quilt and have a quilt frame for hand quilting.
I prefer to hand quilt but sometimes there just isn't enough time and I have to machine quilt. I have such a hard time getting on the floor to pin a quilt for machine quilting. OK maybe not getting on the floor but getting back up. lol I put my quilt into the frame as if to hand quilt and pinned and rolled and pinned, etc. Worked great. |
That is good to know!!! I was thinking that I could extend my John Flynn frame to do the same thing :D:D:D
|
That is terrific! And the back came out all smooth? That was very smart thinking.
|
I have started machine quilting and so far so good with the back being smooth. It looks fine overall.
A real back saver. |
I've heard of others doing this but never tried it myself. Let us know how it turns out once you've finished machine quilting it. Thanks!
|
Shucks! I just have a round quilt frame so maybe I should invest in one that I can put the quilt on and pin. Sounds like a great idea.

Joe the Quilter has a video out that shows how to make a quilt frame for about $20.

I used my Flynn frame for pinning my quilts til I found basting spay. Now I use that and like it better than pinning. I still have to get down on the floor, but it goes faster so I can pull myself up sooner.
