Does anyone know where (or IF) you can buy pre-printed quilt BACKS for people learning FMQ? I know they have whole cloth tops pre-printed, but they are MUCH to advanced for me at this stage! I just want to be able to sandwich a smaller quilt (lap/sofa size) and quilt it from the back, following a pre-printed all-over design.

Is this what you're looking for?

Yes! Thanks!! I guess I could just cut it to fit smaller quilts. I thought I had seen one someplace!!

Brilliant. Never knew that such a thing existed.

Wow - that is quite a place - spent quite some time looking that one over - One thing though - for the pre-printed backing, it says do not prewash (as the design is on it) - but it also says 100% cotton - - wouldn't that (100% cotton) be apt to shrink when laundered?

Holice

it says "do not prewash" because the design is printed in a wash out ink. It should have minimum shrinkage.
It is printed and available from Benartex and comes by the yard. Write me if you can't find it.

i have a bolt of it.

Don't know if there is such a thing but it is a good idea.

Very interesting. Is there another pattern other than this one?

So if you were to get this type of backing, you would have to load it on the quilt frame backwards to follow the pattern. Has anyone loaded this on the quilt frame and quilted it that way?

I have never seen anything like this before!
