Carla and Lin,

Questions: Do you use a long-arm machine? If not, how did you deal with the bulk with a domestic machine? I am quilting a lapsize quilts on a domestic machine and have difficulty with a quilt this size, so I am wondering about the bigger ones and their bulk. I really haven't tried to do such dense quilting but think now I will try. How long does it take you to do a full-sized quilt?

When Karen McT did a demo on Simply Quilts, she used a ruler along her presser foot to guide as she stitched particularly when she traveled to a clear area. Is this something you do also? Did you take any classes to learn this techinque?

When I looked at the quilt blocks at the Karen McT. site, it appeared that the sashing could have been added after the blocks were quilted. Do you see this also?

Can you add any hints for us to help us get started? Should we start with a single block, etc.?

Thanks for all your insight. Suzanne
