Don't be afraid to divide your batting as much as you need to. On a king size I divide width and length into more manageable sizes for my home machine. Then I fold the quilt top into 4 or 5 inch width and do the same to the backing. Pin folded top and backing together to keep from coming unfolded. I hope that's clear. |
I've used the Betty Cotton method before and really liked it. There's a couple of videos on QuiltTV with Nancy Zimmerman hosting and Betty showing the method. They're very easy to follow.

Penny Halgren has a teleseminar on Sunday night If you sign on you can hear all the different ways to quilt as you go. Go to www.quiltingcoach.com and it will tell you about it. I have listened to several of her seminars and always learn alot. I have done several quilt as you go quilts and I like to do them. So much easier than tugging on the machine. Peggy in Mo

I have quilted several king size quilts on my home sewing machine using the method of cutting off 1/3 of the batting from each side. I cut the batting using LARGE zig zag cuts which makes it fairly fast to whip back together. So far, it is impossible to tell where the batting has been cut and whiped. Good Luck, Marylou
