I puddle and put the sewing machine on my big kitchen table so I can spread the quilt out, working on a lap quilt now

I "puddled" and I "rolled," depending on where I was on the quilt; and I remember I was "frustrated" a lot of times, too! Good luck!

Til I got my frame I was a puddler. It worked best for me. I didn't like rolling it.

That didn't sound right.
LOL Thats okay Pam I puddle also, in fact my neighbor does too come to think about it!!
I have a really cute neighbor girl that lives across the street from me and she came over to talk to me while I was working on my '51 Ford earlier today. I am getting it ready to paint so after I hosed it off I asked her if she wanted to take a spin around the neighborhood.
Of course she was all giddy to go ride in an old car (shes 26) and we took off down the road. She told me she liked fast cars and wanted to know if I would "get into it" for her. :mrgreen:
Little did she know as soon as we were on the main road I nailed it and after spinning the tires through third gear she was squealing like a little girl. When we pulled up to my house we got out and I looked at her pants and she peed all over herself!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
God love her she was so embarrassed, but she thanked me for the ride and told me that she didn't want to go that fast again
Thanks for this craftybear. She did a great job explaining, made it very clear.

That's how I started too, but even on my first attempt I ended up puddling because keeping the darned thing rolled just wasn't working. I was also frustrated with having to constantly pick up the stupid clips from the floor where they would land after falling off the fabric roll, not to mention that the rubber grip edges of the clips would "grip" my machine when I was trying to push-pull the roll through the opening in order to turn the quilt around.
Nope, puddling definitely works better for me. :D
