That was keeping the BULK down! duhhhhhhhhhhhh

I do my own.
I have a Fun Quilter

I use those fabric roller things around the side that is rolled under the arm.....and I have a table set up behind my machine, to support the quilt as it goes through the machine. (I made the table using 2 of the 2 drawer filing cabinets, and an old closet door.....)it is against the wall, and then the machine is against the table, so makes a large work area behind the machine,without taking up too much of my PLAYING room....I do say a few dirty words sometimes in dealing with the bulk.....I may never do another king size one !

Did I miss the answer on " Cotton type theory " quilting? Saw the question but didn't see an answer. I'm new at this. Forgive me

What is a fun quilter?

Wrestling is the word! Just gave up on one large quilt and going to try the fun and done from now on unless it's really small

Sorry about that.
Nolting makes the Fun Quilter.

I quilt on my regular sewing machine. I just quilted a queen size and I didn't have much trouble. I quilt stitch in the ditch or straight lines. I also do some shadow quilting which is harder on a larger quilt. I usually have a large border and I free motion it. I love free motion. I also have hand quilted and have a couple I'm working on it is relaxing.

It is a type of quilt-as-you-go. You make a sandwich of the quilt block, batting, and backing and sew things together as you go. The "inventor" last name is Cotton. I think if you google "Cotton Method Quilting" you will find more information

Do some hand quilting on a rack. Have tried it on my short arm machine, but too much trouble trying to maneuver that much fabric and keep it from bunching up on the back. I usually just send mine out to be quilted. I would rather piece than struggle with the quilting.
