Another puddler and scruncher here! :D

Evelyn, you can do anything with a 9 inch throat! Just keep playing with it until you find the method that works for you. I can do a reasonable job on jumbo queen sized quilts on my 9 inch machine. I could do better than reasonable if I had an once of artistic talent.

Am I the only one that rolls? That being said, I can only straight line quilt. I may need to try puddling instead. I'm not familiar with that term, is that just scrunching it up?

I find it. Easier to puddle and work on just the area under the machine at a time. Let the rest of the quilt play with itself, as long as it doesn't pull your bit.
I found rolling to stiff to move under the machine. |
alot of good info, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for info!!!

Puddling has got to be a new quilting term! To me it's just gathering up the quilt with my arms underneath and my hands coming up and over the quilt in order to guide it underneath the pressure foot to quilt. I'm kind of draped over the quilt and machine.
|
I can't roll it either. I try speading it out as much as possible to the left and behind the machine then scrunch it up in the troat as best you can.
|
i'm definitely in the puddling camp
