Hello fellow quilters. I just wanted to pick your brains regarding a portrait quilt I have been given to work on. My dilemma is this: how much quilting should I do in the face area? I have seen pics on Pinterest and Im not sure I like them as the stitching seems to become a separate art in itself. I don't want to outdo my clients work....any suggestions?

Hello Everyone! It's been quite a while since I've been on the forum. Busy with life, family illnesses, new grandbabies, etc. I have a customer's Judy Neimeyer Captain's Wheel quilt on my frame, but not quite sure what I want to quilt. I've searched on Pinterest, but there's just not a lot of photos. Has anyone quilted one of these and have photos to share?

This machine has been serviced on a regular basis since new. Sews beautifully. Comes with bobbin winder, extra parts, thread, laser, patterns, lots of extras. Too many extras to list. Must arrange pickup and moving. Can be seen and taken for a test run in Roswell Georgia. Selling to make room for a brand new robotic machine. http://TheCottonFarm.com

I have a Husqvarna Viking Platinum 3000 for Sale. It's in Great Condition, just no longer need it. Email me if interested.

How about adding the writing with a marking tool (erasable marker or chalk) to all the pieces before you start? Or even just horizontal lines where the writing goes, like lined paper. You could also keep a reference paper with the writing size next to you when you quilt. I’m not sure I could keep consistent size whether it’s one piece or several pieces anyway.

Anyone have any ideas/suggestions for revising the Circlelord up front platform since I removed the top-loading bar? I have an APQS Millie and now my bars are slightly uneven and further apart now? Anyone done this (info PLEASE) or have seen it done OR does anyone do it? Thank you!

I left a reply last night, but it seems to have disappeared. Can you send me a photo of the herringbone, honeycomb, trillum and pampas please?

Have you sold your George ?

Could you send a photo of the Aztec boards, the herringbone and honeycomb? Do you have Lily? Thank you!

Tonilynn I would like to buy the Egyptian eye. How do we proceed?

Hi Sue, That is my concern that it won't fit on the take up roller. The design I am using it quite large - actually writing. I could make it in pieces but am concerned that the writing would then not be consistent..

Wow 50’ long?! I would think that would get too big on the take up roller. Even if it fit, you would lose a lot of the throat space and eventually could only stitch a small design.

I am making a 50 foot long quilt by 48 inches. I am wondering if I can fit 50 feet of backing (muslin), batting (Warm & Natural) and top (cotton) under the rollers or if I need to make it in parts and put it together after quilting. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Martha

Sew Sew, Be sure to warm up you machine before making the adjustment. You can remove the bobbin and the upper thread from the needle and just let the machine run at a good constant speed for 5 minutes or so. Here is a link to an APQS instructional post. Read down to the bottom (prior to the comments) as there are different instructions for machine prior to 2007 and 2008 and later. I hope this helps you. https://www.apqs.com/needle-updown-wont-stop/ Hopefully this will fix your problem. Cagey

I am cleaning out my quilting supplies and I'm starting with four of Karen McTavish books. They are in excellent condition, and three of them are signed by Karen and they still have the DVD's that come with them (one book did not come with a DVD). I would like to sell them in a lot for $60.00 plus shipping costs. If interested please e-mail me at jhend12302@hotmail.com. Thanks

How to fix my George’s stop down needle position. When I stop stitching the needle does not consistently go in the down position it will stay in the up position. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Any help would be appreciated.
