I thought I would take the stitches out while it was still on the frame. Interesting to do, but I didn't want to redo the sewing later. I had to adjust my cruise control and finally got the pattern and stitch length I liked.

See the threads above Lucy and Charlie Brown?

Underside of frame where I have been removing thread- I guess it matches too well can't see it unless you look to the right of the black sashing

i skin my quilts all the time on the frame instead of off - its so much easier and quicker on the frame.

if you want to see the video of it on youtube just search for skinning a quilt.

Well if I were to skin a whole quilt or large section... on the frame. For just a row or two, off. But I have zippered leaders so it just takes a minute.
