    I saw this on Nancy's Notions for a jacket - never thought about using it for a whole quilt - may have to look in to this

    I am doing a quilt in the Cotton Theory now. To me very time consuming. You cut your shapes 1 in larger then the batting 1 in smaller then your piece. You quilt then sew it together. You might want the instructions.

    I had a $1000 hospital bill because of Cotton Theory--my needle broke off into my finger and it had to be surgically removed--I finished the quilt, gave it to my son's girlfriend and told her I never wanted to see it again!

    Ouch! Poor you! I it because there are so many layers to sew through? I don't know much about this yet...

    Yes you can. If you have a digital machine setting the correct stitch width and length is easier than trying to find it with machines that just have knobs to turn. The more decorative stitches that you have the more you will have to choose from. The biggest requirement with Cotton Theory is having a machine that will at least zig-zag. Hope this answers your question. If I can help anymore just let me know.

    I did a tutorial on this - Quilt as you go that Deb uses, very simple to do with the same end result as cotton theory.
