Using my new Sweet 16
I went to the Chicago quilt show a few weeks ago and Handiquilter was selling their demo sweet 16s for under $4000 with free shipping so I whipped out my credit card. Three cones of Superior So Fine were also included. (That is some fuzzy thread.) I took a Leah Day and a Christina Cameli class on Craftsy and lots of practice. I'm ready to do a simple meander on a real quilt. Here's my question: where do I start the quilting? The middle row of the quilt? The upper left? Should I fill one block before moving on to the next? Does it matter? The instructional videos use fat-quarter size pieces or individual blocks, which is great for demonstrating a pattern, but not helpful for doing an actual quilt. I spray-baste if that matters.
Another question: the instruction manual says oil every other bobbin, which I took to mean every two bobbins. The DVD says every bobbin. I don't want to under-oil. Is it possible to "over oil"?
Any tips anyone would like to offer would be appreciated. Thanks!
