I've used the Martelli and the Stripology. There's one marvelous thing about the Martelli -- it will not budge while you're cutting. This quality is offset by the fact that there is too much play in...

I've only made one panel quilt, and I did pre-wash the panel (I pre-wash all fabric). I used a pattern for the panel, and it did have the panel cut apart into separate pieces, with pieced blocks in...

Martelli makes a pad that worked for me, before I had to stop using the pedal and switch to the stop/go button. But that was on a wooden floor.

I'm a long way from considering borders, but I think I'll try reversing clue 6, as well, when the time comes.

I'm back to working on my A blocks, but this time, I'm not focusing on them exclusively, and am finding that approach much more enjoyable than trying to power through, which I think is beyond me now....

I agree with those who have found JoAnn fabrics to be a lesser quality -- thicker, stiffer as a general rule. My local LQS went out of business, and since then I've only shopped on line. I can't say...

I've used Gutermann and the Superior Threads brand (can't think of the name). They are both quite wiry, and I can't say I prefer one over the other, both are fine. I also tried hand quilting with...
