Izy, you did a wonderful job on the quilt. Have you thought about standing on the side of the sewing machine (have it on a high table) and you would have room for the quilt to hang down. Rather than facing the sewing machine, face it on the side and you can machine quilt it. A friend has tried this and it worked for her.

I have made a start, echo quilted around applique, now doing a medium size meander all over, it's looking ok, doesn't distract from the blocks...but my blinking machine is playing up! Hope it behaves today!! :roll: :lol: :D

You could stitch in the ditch for the quilting, only doing some of the sems or around each block?

Saying that if I ever do get fed up of meandering I will certainly use the lady you use!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
I am about 3/4 done on the meandering now...machine still playing up, think it's to do with the thread 'sweeper' as stitches aren't forming...then it kicks in and seems o.k. til I change bobbins...strange :roll: :cry:
