Great job. Hope you like your Sweet Sixteen.

Gorgeous quilt and for a good cause! What a generous gift that will ease their pain and loss!

I take it that you like the sweet sixteen. you did a great job and I love the fabric choices.

It is a pretty one. Have fun with your machine!
peace

Fantastic quilt ,love the colours.

Beautiful quilt! I'd say you do an awesome job quilting this on your Simply 16

SoozieQ & Quiltngolfer I've been researching the Simply 16 for months now, any advice on how difficult it is to get the right tension as far as the tightness of the quilt on the Little Foot frame and did you have previous experience with using a long arm. Or any other helpful hints about the Simply 16 would be greatly appreciated.

Since then I have changed threads and was able to get right tension really quickly. I watched a lot of videos online. I really love the way the frame makes it so easy to "load" quilt. I always have used spray baste and sandwiched quilt on portable tables pushed together, I just pin the outer edges. The clamps that come with the machine are perfect and its quick to move on the next area to be quilted.I would totally recommend it

that is beautiful...Did you enjoy doing the quilting on your new machine?

Beautiful!! Great colors.
