Hints on how to quilt on the Janome 6600. I do believe in my sweet machine. It is me I am concerned about. Ha! You are a wonderful role model and I just wonder how you got so much under the harp. Did you roll tight, squash it, have a friend pull & tug for you.
I have a torn pec muscle and 2 tears on the rotator cuff & two jagged bones the tissue catches on. But I want to complete this ASAP for a dear friend. Suggestions???
I rolled one side and fed it through the throat up to about the middle of the quilt....quilted four squares, then repositioned.. moving toward the outside edges. It really was not as bad as I thought it would be...just alot of pushing, shoving, and repositioning. I usually take quilts this large and rent time on a longarm. Best wishes to you as you quilt yours....mind those injured places so as to not make them worse!
