What am I suppose to do? I have a home system with a Janome. Eventually I would be quilting through all three layers so I am wondering I can leave it sandwiched, load onto the front bar and quilt as normal. Hope this makes sense. Has anyone ever tried quilting this way?
Yes, I have done this: I had quilted a king size quilt by just sewing lines up and then accross. I never like the look.
When I got my LA, I loaded it on one roller and stretched accross to the receiving roller. I requilted on top of everything and it looks great.
Since you are doing this for someone, I would inform her that because you will be doing it the same way, that there might be some pleats in the back. I didn't have any. ...
