Is it possible to add additional machine quilting after the top is SITD'd and bound? I have a winter large quilt top done and most of the SITD is done....we are having a houseful for thanksgiving, and I want to hang it in the great room...but I won't have time to do all of the FMQ accents....can I add FMQ after the holidays? 😉

I would think of no reason not to be able to add more stitching to the quilt after the holidays. Is there a problem with mounting the quilt if you are a LAQ???

I had asked that same question a while back. Here is the thread with many replies:

Yes you can but not when you are having it long arm quilted obviously it can't be separated.

Thanks for the responses and the thread link! No long arm quilter here...!

You can put it back on a long arm after it's been SITD. There's no need to load the quilt components onto the different rollers, just load it as a single layer. Long arm quilters often SITD the whole quilt, then roll it back & do the detail.

Why not? My grandmother used to say there are no rules in sewing and quilting.
