Just a quick tip, quilt on frame to hand quilt
Just stumbled across this....put my quilt on one of those plastic Dritz floor frames; my quilt is all hand appliqued (pueblo pottery pots) and very thick in those places; well the sleeves did not want to go over and I did not want to force for fear of ruining some of the applique; my husband was going to cut the sleeves into smaller pieces so I could place where there wasn't applique but I suddenly thought of wax paper; I put long sheets of wax paper over the quilt where the sleeves were to go and sure enough that allowed just enough slippage to go over the thick parts. You may already know this but just thought I would pass it along.
Sincerely, Antylu
