Hi Sharon, I am wanting to do cross hatching on a king size quilt.I have finally convinced myself that I should at least try. I know it is time consuming, but still want to do it. My question is, when I get up to a piece of the applique, and pull the bobbin thread up and go over the applique piece, dragging the thread, and then down the other side of the applique, do I have to pull the bobbin thread up on the other side before I start to sew again? Will that be enough to hold the stitches so that it won't start to unravel. Then I would continue with the line on the other side of the applique and when all done, cut the threads that are dragged over the applique. I am sorry Sharon, that I seem to ramble on, but you have helped me before and I read all your e-mails and blogs and I just needed to hear you say, forget or you can do it. lol I put a lot of faith in you. I have learned so much from your blogs and tutorials. They are GREAT!! Also, I don't have the 4th bar that most longarm quilters have. Can you buy them and put it on yourself. Thank you for your patience!!! Carol crickson1@comcast.net
HI Sharon, Have you ever made a Wedding Ring quilt?? I am in process, and nearing the end but I have no idea how you attach the ring section to a background fabric. I also have to put on an applique border. All I can think of, is to applique the ring section to the background. The quilt is queen size. Sadly the instructions show how to make all the rings (20) but nothing regarding how to attach them.
I wish I lived in your area. I would attend all your workshops. But I think traveling to Washington, from Pennsylvania, would have to be out of the question. I'll just have to keep following you online.
If you can help, I would certainly appreciate it. If not I'll still be looking forward to following you online. Carol Thank you for all you do for the quilting world, and thank you for listening to me. Carol Rickson
