Would love to see a picture of this. Not sure I have ever seen sweaters turned into a quilt. I have done T-Shirts and other clothing yes, but not sweaters. Bet it will be cozy.

Yes, that sounds like a great way to do this. Have a question for sewers that have the Phaff 7570 with embroidery. I have installed the software and have went with a serial 25 pin adapter to a usb. Have checked the pc and it recognizes the sm. It shows a pc and sm on the sewing machine screen. Adjusted the buffers in the transfer rate. Still can not get it to format a blank card and load a design to a blank card. I am hitting send stitch file like the manual says. I am very knowledgable and have built my own pc. I checked all the drivers are installed correctly. Any suggestions? Have also put it on 1.1 for a better transfer. the computer is Windows 98 with ram upgraded.

You would be happier if the extra fabric is in the center of your back and not on the edge. I would cut the back in the center and add the extra fabric so it's the center part of your quilt!

I have had that happen on a quilt that was a gift. I put a four inch boarder on all sides. Turned out great.

Sew one strip of fabric down each side of the quilt backing so that the backing is wide enough for you to finish the quilt. Learned this from doing the same thing.

I prefer unpieced backing so after conversation with long armer. Long armer was complaining about where seams met coinciding with seams on the back and breaking needles or throwing the arm out of line. If you haven't got any or can't get any then piecing is your only answer.
