Making the Move from Tied to Free Motion Quilting
I have made quilt tops on an off since my teens (I'm 62 now). I've always tied my quilts but I have become interested in free motion quilting with my faithful Singer 1705. I have ordered a free motion foot and a feed dog cover. I'm going to experiment on some scraps to see if I need the extender for the sewing surface and the gloves. All the videos I watch on YouTube make it look so easy. I bought some Warm and Natural batting for a baby quilt I just finished. My current question is, do I need to prewash the batting? I routinely wash and dry all fabrics.
