mhm, just reading your posting twice...you donīt have asked what I answered... doesnīt matter... maybe it will help in further questions ;-)
in the meanwhile check this http://quiltville.com/tonya/houses.shtml |
I'm just curious, why didn't you use the AccuQuilt GO?

Good for you!! As for price to have them quilted depends on the area you live. In my area you measure the length and the width mulitply those 2 numbers, that will give you how many squares inches the quilt has. Then in my area most of them charge 1 cent a square inch for a very simple design....and on up to 1 1/2 and 2 cents. Also if you want heavier more dense quilting they charge more.
But like another person mentiond for another type of quilt you could do a fun and done. That way when your done your done...lol it's quilted as you are making it. Don't forget we like picturs :D |
Great!!
Ok, where's the pictures!! |
Is wickedly easy the name of your pattern?
If so, I made that same pattern and quilted it myself on my little ol' sewing machine. I started by sewing from corner to corner diagonally, then paralleled those lines to make a chevron-type pattern in all four sections created by the first sewing lines. It actually turned out pretty good, and straight lines are easy to do :D Come on, you've already been brave once....step out again and go for broke! |
It is always fun trying something new. Quilting is a constant learning process.

Mike, in order to not have to use left hand for rotary cutting ( I would probably cut mine off) you need a cutting board that turns. I bought one from Walmart for under $25.00.

My first time rotary cutting, and went well, I still seem to get turned around and have to cut with my left hand sometimes.. :lol: But hey it's all about learning right? Another lesson learned...even though I pressed my seams on the back, I need to turn over the panel and iron on the front. I two panels that had a little crease in them, so I'm sure it will be a tad off. But I got everything cut out, the strips put together, pressed, and then cut again. This evening I just have to piece them together. So when it says Wickedly Easy...it MEANS it! Also anyone know the price to have a Queen Size quilt machine quilted? I just want a ball park figure for reference. I plan on making quilts for family members, and depending on how much it would be to hire someone as opposed to me trying and failing....I can do a straight line...but idk...it makes me nervous! :) |
You make me want to start today. Wonderful quilting technique. Thanks
