Thanks so much for this thread and the research...especially by MTS. I machine quilt my own projects and want to find more ways to manage a large quilt. My arms and hands just can handle all that bulk for very long.
I've dabbled with the Cotton Theory method and like it a lot for small projects but haven't made a quilt yet. I worry about how soft or drape-able it will be.
I want to try these other methods.
