I have been struggling to get this quilt done. I am kicking myself for choosing three different threads. I love the way they all look, but my goodness, they are tempermental. My hot pink is bottom line. It is not acting too badly. The lime green is Highlights. OH, I love how it looks, but I really hate fighting with it. THe white is So fine, which runs fine, but I keep having to change the tension when I change to the white thread. Another one I love to hate is anything King Tut. If it is a nice day and relatively warm with low humidity in our house, it runs beautifully. I love the way it looks. But, if it is the least bit cold or rainy, that thread snarls into birdsnests and leaves loops on the back. What threads are you favorites? Most hated? Adored, but hated at the same time?

I'm not sure what the wheels are. They are black rubber wheels with the groove in the center to fit on the rails. The cord is suspended on an overhead trolley system that travels the length of the table while I am stitching. There is no play in the wheels or axles. We checked all that right after I noticed that it was hard to steer. I am really hoping to have somebody take a look at it one day, or win the lottery to buy a bliss table.

Jim, the Lenni is on the exact same type of table the Ultimate 2 was, except it is metal Lbeams instead of a wooden table with rails. The wheels are vertical on the carriage and the head. We have adjusted the wheels several times, leveled and releveled the table, sanded the bad spots in the table rails, adjusted the stitch regulator encoder wheel. Nothing has helped. If a rep ever gets down this way for anything I am hoping I can get them to come by and see if they can adjust anything any differently. Straight lines are great, circles and feathers are hard to do.

I would like to have it, but I don't think it will fit on my table.

nice solution. Everybody should be happy. Good job.

I had to do one once that was too wide for my 12 foot tables. I did just like you thought to do. I folded in part of it and quilted it, then repinned the whole thing and quilted the rest. Not sure if that's the proper way to do it, but it worked for me. Of course I had very thin batting. Not sure how it would work with thicker batting, it might roll up really wonky. Mine wasn't too bad.

Dell, did you finish this piece? I'd like to see the finished design

That is glorious. I really love it. I would put feathers or medallion pieces in the dark blue parts, cross hatch or stipple the white behind the tree, use small fills or stipple in the other backgrounds, and SID around all that wonderful piecing.
