Thanks Jim.  Transparency is a concern.  Also thinking of "tightness" for loading.  Thank you for taking the time to respond.  Take care and have a good day.

[quilting with sheer linen]

Hello to all you amazing quilters.  It has been a while since I have posted and I hope all is going well with everyone here.  I am pondering making a whole cloth quilt out of sheer linen, the gauzy drapery kind.  Any advice?  Am pretty certain I am not the only dreamer  Thanks.  Take care everyone and have a good day.

Thanks Gail.  I would be using wool.  Would 2 batts be too warm??  I definitely have enough throat space with Mille.  Hoping to do the Anne Bright Musical.  Have it in the 8 1/2 but was thinking of enlarging it.  Her pantos are very consistent in density so think it would secure the quilt.  Looking for a quilt that just puddles around you and yet firm enough to have that quilted feel.  Think I will make a trial sample.  Thanks again for your thoughts and your time. Have a good day..  

[13" pantos versus 8-9" pantos]

Have been quilting with the 8-9" pantos and wonder if anyone is familiar with using the larger 13" ones.  Anne Bright has the option of purchasing the downloadable design, enlarging 200%, resulting in a 13" panto.  Do quilts with the larger, more airy design have a softer hand?  Do the smaller designs result in firmer quilts with a flatter appearance?  Your preference?  Thanks so much in advance for your responses.  Have a great day and Happy Quilting.
