i agree it's great stuff for machine quilting. well worth the price. i get several lap quilts' worth out of each can.

just don't try to hand quilt through it. especially if you're using cotton batting. OY!!!

like trying to quilt through clay.
:shock:

LOL... I'm lazy and into instant gratification. I learned how to hand quilt, but MUCH prefer the quickness and serendipity of machine quilting. I even used it to spray down tissue paper that I had done calligraphy on for my niece's baby quilt and then filled it in with stitches - it came out really nicely (i was shocked... lol)

What is the biddy saying to the egg. I can't see it.

Please, tell us more about the sprayed down tissue paper technique. It sounds mighty interesting... 8)

Is that a real chicken at the bottom of your bowl?

If you're asking about Kathy's avatar, then yes ... it's a real chicken sitting VOLUNTARILY in the bowl.

HI--CAT HERE

Quilting as you go has been around for a long time--just read about making a quilt in the 1800's by sandwiching blocks and machine or hand quilting them than sewing the binding around each one, when all blocks were done they slip-stitched them together--presto all done. I thought this was a great idea as now days with our great sewing machines and the many stitches at our beck and call we can secure those blocks together very quickly---what do you think.--CAT

PS--woke up to snow again this morning--not much though

Welcome Cat. I have a regular sewing machine so that all I do is quilt as you go. Works for me. Less material to pull and tug on.

I found a QAYG history and instructions that are easy to follow. http://www.secretsof.com/content/194

I've designed a quilt top for Texas Bluebonnets and was wanting to work on it while rock hunting in New Mexico in August (lots of driving involved - or in my case, riding - there are times that it is really nice to have a husband that wants to do all of the driving). Will be glad to share the pattern with anyone who wants it. It's in Microsoft Excel format - no instructions on piecing, just the graphs.
Couldn't figure out how I was going to be able to quilt in the truck until now. Thanks, ladies! :D

Can you post it here?
