    Oh, well that makes sense. Yes I'm a puddler then.
    Thanks for the explanation. :-D

    Most of the time I have rolled, but sometimes I "puddle" it, depending on what type of quilting I am intending to do.

    I tend to puddle my quilt too, but I accordion the part that's in the middle of the machine because I find it easier to handle.

    I'm usually a puddler, but sometimes I try rolling and it's such a pain for me I go back to puddling.

    That didn't sound right.

    I remember seeing one of the well known machine quilters talking about this. She said if you are doing fmq, you should puddle so you can have more freedom of movement. That made sense to me. I tried it both ways but the puddle wins hands down!!

    I'm a roll-pudd or maybe a pudd-roll :wink:
    Which means I do whichever I gotta do.
    But mostly, I admit, I'm a puddler

    I'm a roller. I let the bottom of the "scroll" of fabric double over in my lap and then start at the top and FMQ down the area between the two rolls, doing about an 8" wide swath at a time from top to bottom. Then reroll, and start again.

    ACK! When I first started I was told to roll them and use the bicycle clip type things (which don't work worth beans), so that's what I've always tried to work with. It's a real pain. I'm converting from roller to puddler!
