Your quilt is very pretty!

they are available in the hair care section of most drug and variety stores.
They are much cheaper than the bicycle clips sold for this purpose
let me know what you think or if they work for you!!
I think that is a great idea, will be trying it on my next quilt as I nearly drove myself mad with the last one too. It makes sense.
Thanks again

Rolling is great as long as the roll isn't so big that it gets stuck in the harp area. Tugging and pulling that roll through there is a nightmare on the larger quilts with my Husqvarna Lily 540 - remember you still have to have someplace to put your right hand.

Aggi...go small like a table throw first on your machine quilting. Helps w/the movement and motion or getting the rhythm. Also..rolling isn't a chore for me when quilting, it seems to unroll itself. Could be the way I roll it and the lack of clipping (clipping posts-good idea!)or keeping it clipped to keep it from unrolling. I find it a 'good thing' if I am not doing straight line quilting (to roll it)...just my 2 cents-Skeat
Loretta...is that a quilt in the blizzard (all white):0)LOL I'm sure we will get to see your eye candy soon-I hope:))
