I'm guessing most of you send your bed quilts to a long arm quilter? But I can't afford that.
Maybe it wouldn't be as bad if I was just quilting straight lines, but I decided to SITD around some of the shapes.
I am about half way done. Maybe I will get another quarter done tonight if I can stand to sit down and start. If I could finish the quilting this weekend I would be so happy.
And I will probably never stray from lap-size and baby quilts again!
When I do a larger quilt I bring my sewing machine and cabinet out away from the wall. Then I put a cheap folding table behind the cabinet (bought one in CVS for $20) and line up folding TV trays to the left of me. That way I can spread the weight of the quilt on the tables and not on my shoulders. Hope this helps.
