How did you attach it to the LAM. I have a finished quilt that needs re-quilting and any tips would be helpful.
peace :D

I do plan on doing it again, but I am taking the quilt apart and giving it new batting and a back(this one is one of mine and my kids use it ALL the time).

Question, you mentioned that it was hand tied. Did you remove the ties before you put it on the long arm, or maybe take it out as you went. I can't tell from the pictures. Just wondering.

Great Job!! I have some old, tied baby quilts where the batting is glumped together and this gives me inspiration to take them apart, put in new batting and quilt them!!
It is great that you were able to save something with all the memories.

I've never put a whole quilt on the longarm frame before and I had my doubts on how well it would work. The quilt was hand tied and done a very long time ago. They wanted to keep the quilt in tact as much as possible. So here it is after it has been quilted, washed, and hung out to dry. It looks so much better than when I first seen it. I wish I would have taken a picture of the before.
peace :D
