Oh, what a heartbreaker!

But, yikes, what a gorgeous result! Well worth the extra care - the quilting is beautiful.

Thanks everyone! Scalping is where you leave the quilt on the longarm, and lift the top and the batting away from the backing fabric to expose the stitches, then run a razor blade (I use my rotary cutter) lightly against the stitches. Unless you're incredible careful, it often destroys the batting and the backing, but the top is safe. It's a last ditch effort... but if you've ever tried to frog out black thread on black fabric...

You did a great job. Very pretty. Worth re-doing. Turned out so good.

Have you ever used an eye brow shaper. It is a razor cover that his little slits where the thread can slide in but you don't cut your fabric.

The quilt is beautiful. I especially like the floral border and all the plaids.
