I too had a old machine...one of my good friends solved the quilting problem for me. you take tissue paper and draw, trace, or freehand your pattern on the paper, mine at that time was hearts, then you pin the paper to your quilt (you have to handle with care) then you can slowly stitch around the pattern. the tissue paper just pulls right off, or you can use one of the stenciles and draw on your quilt. Sometimes when you do this the product you use does not come out of the material and can still be seen.

I live in a motor home at least 7 months a year. My grandson wanted a cars quilt for his bed. Problem is his bed is queen size and they don't make one that big. So granny had to make one. we were in the motor home at that time. I find that a ironing board has many uses. It works great at the end of a table to hold the extra weight, and as I quilted it free motion I kept moving the ironing board futher foim the table.

No long arm for me, but my sister has one and I buy the designs, backing and batting, for her and she does them. In turn though, I sew her bindings down for her on all of her quilts! say ouch to sore fingers!! I hope to have pic up here one day soon.

I use a Pfaff sewing machine. I have had the experts at my LQS quilt my quilts on a long arm. However, after being on this Board for a few months, I have been inspired and am planning to quilt a baby quilt I am finishing on my Pfaff.
