Bear (my wife’s nickname) completed the FMQ with my 301A on the quilt shown earlier in this thread. She had a time getting the tension set the way she wanted it, but all-in-all, she likes the 301A for FMQ. She thinks it may have something to do with the vintage fabric. The backing, and some of the top, is a fabric with a high thread count and is a poly/cotton. Not sure how much polyester is in it, but probably more than we normally see in today’s fabrics. It’s old store stock that was in our shop when we bought it. But, it’s heavy weight and should hold up good for a lasting in-use quilt. The batting is Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 cotton.
