Hello, what did you decide to do with your quilt? I am having a similar dilemma. On Saturday my machine is getting a house call and I have a top loaded that I can't finish until afterwards. I have two rows quilted and don't want to rip-out so need to figure out how to reload it later. I am concerned about it being square and straight. I want to know if it would make it easier if I basted the sides and end before unloading. I will have to roll all three layers on the belly bar when it is reloaded. Hopefully this makes sense to someone! How would you go about this?
