question for quilter's with machine/frame set up
Not too long ago I bought a used Gracie II frame with a Juki TL-98 sewing machine. I love using it and knew ahead of time that the sewing area would only be about 4" to 4 1/2" across the quilt. So far I've gotten pretty good at stipling and 4" pantographs. My question is: Can you roll up the quilt with the needle still down to keep your place on the block? Or would this hurt the machine or the quilt? If anyone has this sort of set-up and can give me some suggestions for doing the quilt blocks...I would sure appreciate it. I'm not very good at stopping, rolling and keep the exact same place. Thanks!
