i seen the post about charity quilts last night, had to order ,now im anxious for it to get here, know a lot have done this ,this is my first time so am a little excited. any advice will help as i have never machine quilted but going to give it all i can hope it will be good enough.

A walking foot is a must. For your first machine quilted project, try a simple pattern, like stitch in the ditch or a grid.
|
i have a walking foot ,i will practice on it before i do the actual quilt, thank you so glad i found this board have learned so much already, what a great bunch of quilters.
|
First a walking foot is good. Then if you practice on some scraps, that also will help.
|
The quilts come fast and are easy to put together. There is no rule on the quilting they just want it to be secure to hold up to industrial washing.
|
thank you was a little worried about the quilting part, but knew id get lots of help here.
|
Don't forget to drop your feed dog so the quilt moves around well. It is easy and fun. Keep a good speed and do yout thing.LOL
|
just do a simple cross hatch,or grid like mentioned above..it will be just fine!
|
Do you have a specific charity in mind to give them to?

http://www.quiltsforkids.org/ request a kit: http://www.quiltsforkids.org/patterns/request/ please read the specifics..they do not want any hand quilting, including the binding..they give you plenty of fabric to bring the backing over to the front for the binding. |
