Is it ok to ask "how" to quilt here?
To be honest, I have only ever quilted one item.
Wait ... actually two. Two table runners, but that was done using stitch in the ditch, & it was a cathedral window that I did ... so it looked like it was more intricately quilted.
Here's a photo of the table runner that I pieced for my daughter.
Since I'm new to "quilting" (I love to piece) ... I really don't know what to do.
I have all the "stuff" I need. Walking foot, etc.
I do not have a long arm.
I DO have a Sweet Sixteen but not the stitch regulator, and since this runner is a bridal shower gift, I don't want to "learn" on the SS just yet. I'll save that for getting in lots of practice first.
Dd's shower is in 2 weeks. I'd really like to quilt this thing now (this week).
Any suggestions on what I can do?
I'm also not sure about what to do with that pineapple piecing. So pretty. Don't want to mess it up.
Thanks for your thoughts! I really could use some help here.
I COULD take this to a quilter, but I'll never learn if I'm off doing that (which is why I have pieced more than I have quilted).
Also, for the nicest look ... do I want to use a backing fabric & have it flip to the front for the binding, or should I make a separate binding. I'm thinking of using an aqua print or a grayish silver print (both are in the piecing if you look closely).
