It's A LOT of machine quilting. And a lot of thread.
First, I used Sulky 30 wt Blendables Long-Staple Cotton, because I liked the color variation. I had to stop & clean the fuzz out FREQUENTLY. I can just imagine how much is in places I can't reach. I'm taking my machine to be cleaned as soon as I finish this project - if it doesn't stop working before I finish!
I hope your machine hangs on until you are done. I used Sulky for my Hoffman Challenge entry because they are now a co-sponsor. It was the first time I had ever used it and I will
never do so again. :evil:
