I do either, and/or both, depending on the quilt and what I'm quilting on it. :wink:
|
I have not done a large quilt yet. Penny

i am a puddler!!!! i cant seem to keep the quilt rolled up without making a mess , therefore i end up being a puddler
|
I do both, it depends on the size. But I prefer to smush/puddle.

I just finished machine quilting (SITD)a t-shirt quilt and did both...rolled the sides so I could quilt the middle, and sort of puddle-folded the rest in my lap as I fed it through the sewing machine...worked pretty well. there wasn't anyone around to snap a pic, or I'd show you...

Love the descriptions - roller and puddler
I think "puddle" is such a funny sounding word |
To me its a lot easier to puddle than to try and to roll up the quilt especially if you are working on a BIG one.

Well I am totally confused as to "puddle" , roll or fold! I have not done any of that so far. what I have quilted has been small. Well I can say I bunched it up between the neck and needle somewhat, but I am wondering how you quilt with a large quilt size. And the method of sewing with the sewing machine sideways, is that like the head of the machine is facing you? I know my question might seem funny, but I am really new to this and quilting a large top is terrifying!

Have you tried sandwiching only 1/3 at a time, starting with middle third; quilting that. Then adding the next 1/3 and quilting that? You have the entire top and back, but only 1/3 batting. Works!
