The only quilting I've done with a cotton back was the borders on this quilt. The center of the quilt was made on my embroidery machine and the borders were pieced and added after, so more like a QAYG so not a lot of bulk to work with anyway:
Honeycomb Quilt

I really like how cozy the fireside is. It does make the quilt heavy, but it is very forgiving as a backing because the stitches sink in so I haven't had any issues with tension. My LQS has a long arm and she says that longarmers love the fireside as well, but that's the limit of my experience with it.

I would love an 11" harp space as you are enjoying...maybe next machine. Thanks for the machine info. I have a Babylock spirit emb. machine but no digitizing software yet. I only do emb. designs but have yet to quilt with it. I will check out Anita Gooddesign patterns...so lovely. Thank you for sharing the honeycomb pattern as well. You were born to quilt! Happy Quilting! Oh and thank you for the fireside fleece info. I am ready to try it!
