RE: Quilting on a HQ Avante Quilting Machine - Needlework Monday
I feel like I just gobbled this article up, and I'm supposed to be editing a document during a computer class right now😂
That looks so cool!!! I've quilted 2 twin sized quilts on my own machine at home, but all I did was stitch in the ditch between string-pieced rows, so I could roll up each side of the quilt to get it through the machine. I don't think I could squeeze a bigger quilt through. But I HATE all the pinning involved! I'd love to throw a bigger quilt on a machine like this. I have a feeling the price in the States wouldn't be anywhere near as reasonable though.
No, the price in the states is way higher. I've looked into it there before. That is if you can find someone who will let you USE their machine. It's not very common. I got quotes for them using their machine to quilt my quilts on it. I always decided to just do it myself. I've never done a twin size quilt on my machine, but I've done some that were larger than lap size. I almost always do all over free motion (stippling) on all my quilts as I find it is forgiving if I mess up a little or the corners don't exactly line up. :) Glad you liked this post!! :)
Oops. I totally did not mean to upvote my own comment. That is so lame.
Oh yes, very much :) I've never tried stippling, unless you count free flowing wavy lines across the width of a quilt. I actually like quilting with just tacking stitches the best....My neighbor has a quilting frame and offered it to me, so maybe in the future I'll do a similar post with a totally old fashioned twist 😂
