Hey, I think we've all been there! I'm on quilt # 14, and this is my first attempt at free motion quilting. I got a pair of (vinyl?) gardening gloves that stretch and have a mesh on the back so they don't get too hot for my hands. This is the ONLY way I can get my king size quilt to move under the needle. I watched one video on youtube, put together a practice sandwich of the same materials as on the quilt and dark thread so I could see what I was doing. Then, I took the plunge. Not too bad so far... if I could only convince 2 of my cats that it's not their quilt and they need to get off it so I can sew! hahaha[ATTACH=CONFIG]332911[/ATTACH]
