After further disscusion in chat on her post here i told roben i would show pics of my method for quilting. As some of you have seen my clockworks quilt has gears quilted all through it, well here's how i did it. I cut a piece of rigid awning canvas to the desired shap in this case a gear then pinned it down to my quilt and sewed around the edges it worked great for me especially the fact that the canvas is very stiff it doesnt move all over on me. Some of the largest gears wer done with the walking foot and pattern some of the smallest with free motion hope this helps someone.
