Genie Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 I need help in stitching a queen size quilt with crosshatch. What design do I purchased? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwiltr Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 HI,. I just noticed your post here, and I don't have an answer for you, but you might find you'll get a quicker response if it is posted in the Chat About Anything section directly or under Techinical advice. I'm a new longarm quilter, so I'd be interested in hearing the answer too! . The only way I would think to do it is to mark it then stitch it as "W"'s across the available area then advance the quilt. However, your question makes me wonder if there is a Pantograph available to do this, although I'm think it would be tricky to get it lined up from one pass to the next... Good luck!

Bliss Quilter Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Genie, Which Machine do you have? Linda Rech has a ruler that fits most APQS machines. http://topperquilttools.com/index.html. Linda, can you help Genie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cegates Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 The crosshatch boards with the pop-up from Circle Lord works really well and is a good investment. I've used mine many times. Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkazee Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Crosshatching with a computerized system is tough because of fabric draw up and matching each point across the quilt after each roll. I haven't crosshatched an entire quilt but did crosshatching on a custom quilt surrounding all the blocks. I used a ruler from quilters apothecary made for crosshatching.

jameel Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 That is one gorgeous quilt, gkazee! I love your cross hatching! It looks like it must have taken HOURS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkazee Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 LOL. The computerized designs took almost no time. Just the crosshatching took lots and lots of hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caddyhomes Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Crosshatching can be done on a 45 degree or any angle. I have made two large right triangles of fabric to match the angle I choose, sew one to the top left and one to the bottom right corner of the quilt top, creating a new rectangle, mounting the quilt so that I can use the lock on my machine to stitch a perfectly horizontal line across the quilt top but is in fact at 45 or 60 degrees. Then I remount it to stitch the other line in the crosshatching. It is fast and accurate, but takes time to set up. Once the set up is done the lines almost stitch themselves on their own. It works for me - but is a time consuming work of love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
