WHAT DO YOU THINK OF

The new ways out are great. Back in the day, I tried Georgia Bonesteele's lap quilting. It was great except for sewing all those back pieces together by hand. I did ONE only. and I kept having to sew it up all the time. Finially got a longarm, but a new backing on. much better. SO moral is if you can do it with the machine, go for it. It will be your way to keep quilting, remember there are no quilt police, so I have been told. LOL

I haven't done it yet, however, since the last quilt I machine quilted on my Janome 4000 was a king size quilt, I'm considering learning to quilt as you go, or at the very least, divide the quilt into segments, quilt one segment, then go on to the second, third, etc. It would make my life easier, particularly with my arthritis.

I too have recently tried this method. It seems to work well. I'd dont individually quilt each block though. I do a row at a time, or a section, depending on the quilt design. This way, there is less seams on the back.

I did one in a class a couple of years ago. It was McKenna Ryan machine applique and the applique was the quilting. It was tedious but I liked the way it went together and I want to do one of my own design someday. It is very easy to machine quilt on just one block at a time.
