Yes, I agree that FMQ on a domestic machine works better on smaller quilts. My struggle is with moving around the heft of a larger quilt smoothly. Even if I roll up the edge that goes through the...

Anybody else give up on FMQ?

I've done FMQ on my domestic machine for years and have always been happy with a simple meander. However, it's still hard to maneuver the quilt even for a meander, and I'm just tired of the...

Thimblebug, are you saying you use King Tut for hand quilting? I would love to do that, as I've got some leftover from FMQ, but my sewing machine didn't like it. It would be great to use it for...

I think I gave a wrong impression when I mentioned the instructions on batting saying you can quilt up to 8 inches apart. I'm actually quilting lines 3 inches apart. It does enhance the design, as...

I'm quilting a baby quilt with a walking foot, using diagonal lines. The pattern is Jacob's ladder and I really like the way the quilting emphasizes the diagonal lines in the pattern. I would like...

Years and years ago I bought a set of plastic feather templates in graduated sizes, all organized neatly and hanging on a chain. The last time I saw them they were in the room in which I quilted...

I do indeed have a treasure! My great-grandmother died in 1942, so this quilt top is over 80 years old. I'm afraid to wash it, as some of the stitching looks fragile. Also, some of the fabrics are...

Marking an antique quilt

I'm currently hand quilting my great-grandmother's Dresden Plate quilt. The blocks sat in a trunk in the attic for decades, and it just seemed right to put them together and finish it! I typically...

I'm good at not buying any more fabric! My stash is modest compared to some, but as it is I know I'll never sew through it in my lifetime. I'm bad at completing a project before starting another ....

I used to make all my quilts with bias binding. But once I began using straight of grain I liked it better, it was easier, and now I do them all that way.

Surely unwanted scraps could be offered for free online for the price of postage and perhaps a few dollars to compensate you for the time packing them up and mailing them?
