    MAXIES2, I drew a line fron one corner to the other and started there then used my guide for the 1-1/2 and worked one side, then turned and went the other way resulting in the cross hatch.

    This was the 1st one this size I did my my sewing machine.

    I just quilted a 50" by 50" and I just don't like it. My only motivation is to not have to pay for it. :roll: That's my size limit--I'll gladly pay someone to quilt my bigger projects on a long arm to avoid that part. :wink:

    Do you quilt one entire half of the quilt first, then just turn it around?

    Ms Grace, yes, I quilt from the center starting line over to the left and then turn and then turn again like this example.

    The colors represent how I quilted it, and which way I was going, but I used one color of thread :lol:


    I hope this doesn't confuse you.

    I would love to find a laq that was reasonable. Here you can fingure at least $100 for a twin & that would be a very basic computer generated pattern. I also would love to have a set up that I could learn & do it myself.
