Thanks to all for the advice. I just finished pinning the sandwich and have decided to try machine quilting it. Just wondering where to start. When hand quilting you start in the middle and work outward. Are the rules different for machine quilting? Should I take it apart and spray baste it? NOW I think to ask this question :roll: Also I have an industrial Consew walking foot that I have never used with this lightweight of thread. I'm scared :shock: Did some trial runs. Might be ok. Any comments?
