This was my first pieced quilt - about 50X60", high loft poly batting with flannel top and backing.
It was my first free-motion quilting and it was done on a Singer 401 - so I was really batting a thousand when it came to choosing things that made quilting more difficult. There wasn't anyone around to tell me that I shouldn't do any of these things for my first quilt, so that's what I did. :mrgreen: It was fortunate, in a way because I'm not afraid of trying anything, now. LOL!
