loading a quilt on your quilt frame
I am going to start quilting a bedspread on my longarm machine but will be leaving on vacation soon for about ten days. If I don't finish it before I leave would it be ok to leave it on the frame for that length of time or would you remove it from the frame and reload it when you were ready to finish it? Thanks for you help

I wouldn't start it if I couldn't finish it. Unless of course it's for yourself. Then do what you want but if it was for a someone else, I would either finish it before going, or wait to begin when you get back.

I got sick from a form of chemo and at the time there was a quilt I hated - a charity cheater cloth that wasn't square in the print at all!- on the frame. I finally quilted the thing just to get rid of it almost 2 years later. Of course it took me a while to do the quilting as I was still recovering. Being on the frame certainly didn't hurt the quilt.
I had unplugged the machine when I got sick knowing I wouldn't be using it for quite a while.
