wonderful quilting job. sorry it was one of those jobs that you can't wait to finish. I have a small quilt on the frame right now--handwork, only 6 blocks, simple sashing. She wanted dense quilting in background to frame the handwork, simple sashing motif. I supplied the back and bat--but kept shredding thread in certain areas of the backgrounds--finally figured it out that she's probably used cotton sheet for the background and 1/2" seams with sashings. She pressed open the seams--so while doing dense quilting on backgrounds I'm hitting 1/2" of cotton sheet and it's just too tight of a weave. So having to switch back from manual to SR and slowing way down--has to be finished by Friday & I can't wait!
