Vicky, please tell me what batting you use to accomplish a big fat quilt. I too like those when tied or tacked. I tacked quilts for a long time before I realized I might be able to do them on my machine. I am now exploring the idea of using a quilt frame (of some variety) that will allow me to get my 3 layers together without a lot of wrinkles. I am never too old to learn and I am learning a lot from younger women. This is good. Many thanks to all the women here who eagerly share their experiences.
