Quilting queen sized quilt on my machine...
I may be speaking too soon,but I am enjoying quilting my queen sized quilt on my domestic machine. I have heard so many horror stories that I was very uncertain about it, but so far I am actually enjoying it. I hope that feeling continues. :)
I am Stitching in the Ditch. My quilt is 104" x 96. I figure that I am 1/10 done. Like I said, hope I feel the same way with the last 9/10. So far it is very satisfying, especially as I had half convinced myself I wouldn't be able to do it. :) Dina |
I just reread what I wrote, and I sound like i am bragging, when I mainly meant to sound relieved. :( Anyway, my math was a bit off, and I am more like 1/20 done. Oh well, just 19/20 to go, and at least I am not hating it....

Hey Dina. I quilted all my quilts on my Bernina. My avatar is a queen size quilt. The trick is just having the support for the quilt on you left and behind the machine. Have fun !!! :)

(I got dressed to run and then it got misty and windy, so I have gone back to quilting, running shoes and all.) Hot Rod, quilt inspector, claims he is the one making this task satisfying.... Dina |
I am also quilting a quilt on my DMS, queen, that has been sitting around for almost a year. I do all my quilts on my DMS. Can't afford a longarm.

So good to hear it's going well, Dina. I'll be joining the queen quilting on a domestic party soon, I have all the blocks done and laid out for a patchwork argyle, it'll be a summer quilt, no batting but a flannel backing, after that's done I plan to do a jewel box winter quilt (70/30 eco batting), well, if the first one goes okay and leaves me some sanity. lol

There is something about this picture that puts me in a good mood. I've been having a rough day, but the simple image of you in your chair, doing your quilting, with your beautiful cat behind you...somehow it helps.
Thanks for sharing. :) |
