I thought this method would be good for larger quilts, so that I wouldn't have to wrestle all that bulk when quilting. After hearing how hard it is on your hands, I'm going to pass. I have arthritis in my hands, so I don't think this is the method for me. If you don't have problems with your hands, I think this would be a great method for large quilts.

I also tried this technique a number of years ago. At the time, I was using a sewing machine that wasn't really a strong sewer and i had a lot of problems sewing through the layers of fabric that you use to make the quilt. I won't do the technique again.

Got the book, tried it, sold the book. Different strokes for different folks.

She is really awesome. I met her a few years back and she gave me a CD and I love it. She was traveling through town here and stopped for gas and I noticed her trailer so I asked her who she was. Glad I did. I had just started sewing at the time and I thought the technique was going to be over my head but it was actually something I could do.
I started with tablerunners. Lots of fun. :)

I also took a class and found that it uses lots of thread, there is a lot of sewing straight lines over and over again. It was heavy and didn't drape well, it was stiff. I heard if you washed the items a lot they become soft. I decided there were other methods of quilt as you go out there that I like better.

I picked up one of the kits at a show recently. I have not done it yet. I need to complete a few things I have started.

I bought one of her books years ago, looked through it, put it away. Not even sure now where it is. I haven't tried to make anything out of it yet.

I have a book, batting, scissors, etc..they were demo at Paducah. I haven't tried it yet..but it sure looked interesting.

I've seen her on tv and thought her quilting was interesting, but I haven't done a quilt yet. I have used the system to join pieces of left over pre-quilted fabric together making them into larger pieces for charity quilts. This worked fine for me.

It's ok, but I didn't like the stiffness... was making the placemats but that's as far as I got until I put it one the back burner... Guess what!!!!!!!!!! it's still there... neat idea but not for me...
