As a new long arm quilter I appreciate your time in creating this series and am on my way to check out your posts! Thank you ahead of time for sharing your experiences and knowledge!! V
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of writing work, gal! Great topics, though...if a quilt is a manageable enough size, I free-motion my own (I have a Janome 6500 with a big bed on it)...otherwise, I send out for the big stuff. Hope your weekend is smashing!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I am off to see!
ReplyDeleteKaren I thought your Craftsy posts were wonderful! Lovely of you to share your knowledge. Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteI really like the log cabin quilt that you show. The colors have such a masculine look.
ReplyDeleteI am sure this will be helpful for many. I hand quilt but I love to send my quilts to a longarmer to have her baste it especially large ones. It is great.
