Default On a roll!

Sandwiching is the part of quilting I dread most, I have a good sized table but it still always seems harder than it should be. But this week, I have spray basted two quilts, a 92 x 92" and a 60 x 72"

Now on to the fun part!

Yes, that is the most arduous part for me too. Switching to spray basting made it tons easier but it is still the task I dread to do the most!

Good for you. I need to have a sandwiching weekend. It's time for me to quit practicing on my Sweet Sixteen and start quilting some of my tops.

I am guessing its the size of the quilt that makes it so harduous. I make mostly lap size and single bed and it doesn's seem to bad as long as I have got my math calculations right. As a senior it sure helps keep rhe mind alert- ha.

Oh yes...... I agree with the sandwiching part of quilting I dread the most. If I could hire someone to do that part I would be a happier quilter. But.....alas......that is just one of the quilting processes that I have to suck it up and get that job done. Because the end result is so worth it.

I have a new Sweet 16 too! I finished one twin size quilt on it already, now I am signed up to take a class with an HQ instructor in 2 weeks. Can't wait to learn some new tricks!

My quilting friend & I sandwich together. Makes it much easier with two people.
