I've been quilting the body of the quilt on the frame, then taking it off to push through my machine to stitch in the ditch inside the border, then to quilt the border(s). Does anyone have any tips about how to quilt the whole thing, including borders, on the Gracie GMC Pro frame?
Hi Calico, If your're quilting across the width & you want the borders to be different than the body, then you can finish the width borders & the body & then take it off the frame & put it back on lengthwise to get the borders going the length of the quilt. It really just depends on what you want to do. My applique sheep quilt had to be pinned on my frame 2 different directions so that I could get the effect in the borders that I wanted. Other quilts I have just stippled or done patterns all the way across the body of the quilt & border. I guess it just depends on what you want. Hope that helps.
