The curtain rods work great and I put pipe insulation on mine to protect the bars from being scratched by the rods. The insulation is split, wraps around the rod easily, is inexpensive and available at home improvement stores. You can put tie wraps around the insulation to prevent it from sliding off of the rod.

Quilting on appliqué or embroidery blocks
yankiequilter replied to Cindy Beebe's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
In my former life I was a machine embroiderer and was familiar with Ann the Gran and considered her a legitimate source of knowledge and supplies. Her web site has a lot of well known brands and although I have not followed her for 10 years I have no knowledge that anything has changed, so if I wanted something that she supplied I would not hesitate to purchase from her. You might give her a small order to test it out. -

Stitch In the Ditch on longarm
yankiequilter replied to bartolli's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
I mostly quilt for myself and almost exclusively do custom quilting, ditching all blocks, sashing and borders. In the past I used monopoly however earlier this year switched to Wonderfil's Invisifil and Superior's Micro Quilter and I believe both of these threads are 100wt poly. They are extremely fine, blend very well, and I can see it a lot better than the monopoly so it is easier to find the thread and thread the needle. I have used the Invisifil and Micro Quilter for stitching around applique as well as background quilting. For all over quilting I do as posted by fbaldwin. -

Cutting Strips for piecing/binding

Sue, the way that you described is what I did, my explanation was not clear. It makes cutting for a log cabin so much easier and faster! -
Cutting Strips for piecing/binding
yankiequilter replied to Cagey's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
I use the 2-1/4" Accuquilt die for binding, seldom use the 2-1/2" die any more. I also have the 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", 1-3/4", and 2" dies and use them for cutting strips for string quilts and inner borders for quilts. I recently used the 1-1/2" die to cut strips for a queen size log cabin quilt. After cutting the strips I cross cut to the exact length that I needed the pieces and it worked great. This is the first time that I have tried cross cutting and it was not a problem. If you do it, remember to line up the fabric straight or perpendicular to the knives so that the pieces are square/ -
Yes, absolutely! When I first got my Millie I did not have it and added it later. I think that it helps to keep the layers moving more consistently and therefore keeps them together and less chance of one getting a little off which could result in puckers. This is especially important when rolling the quilt back and forth. And if you have any hand/wrist problems the automatic advance makes quilting a lot easier.

AQS has shows around the country throughout the year. I have been attending the spring show in Paducah, Ky. for a number of years, enjoy it and will be back again next April. The entire town goes quilty during quilt week.

Tension disk troubles
yankiequilter replied to yankiequilter's topic in Maintenance Questions (cleaning rails included)
I finally took the assembly apart and found the reason for the problem was the entire assembly had moved away from the head. When the thread went through the tension disks it was catching on the grooves on the post and breaking. I have not had any tension problems until today so never realized the tension assembly had to be tightened. Lesson learned!
