    connieb got a reaction from Mary Beth in FORUMS OR FACEBOOK CURIOUS   
    I may be the odd one but I like both.  I have been on this forum since 2010 and have learned SO much from everyone here.  I know I'm a better quilter because of this forum.  The support is awesome.  Although I have had a hard time with this format since it changed and have really not used it as much as I use to.  Probably more my lack of tech ability than anything else.  The "I Love APQS" FB page is the only quilting group I'm a part of on FB.  I've gotten help and shard pictures there.  I've learned if I just leave it on that page, the posts there are the only thing I see.

    I need advice.  I got my Lenni in 2010, at that time I didn't know anything about having a longarm.  I really stretched the canvases, really pushed my skills at keeping things square. I went to floating my tops just so I didn't have to use the horribly stretched canvas (thank god for all the you tube videos). I am replacing them today (they got stained in the move) and want advice on what everyone does to keep them in great shape.  TIA

    Thank you Connie, for your detailed response!  You've addressed all of my concerns and given me the confidence to have a go at it!  Very much appreciate it!

    I too have a Lenni.  I have done hobbs 80/20 on the bottom with wool on top.  The combination has worked great for me (more than once).  I did not need to raise my hopping foot.  However if it seems you are pushing the quilt top and not just stitching it then maybe you'll need to raise it a hair.  This is very easy to do. I just put the wool on top of the 80/20 and off I went, straightened all layers as I rolled along.  I like the definition wool batting gives the quilting.

    I call myself the 'cobbler with no shoes'  because I quilt for everyone else except me!  
    So my goal was to make a quilt for our new house,   our new bed....
     
    I wanted calm neutral colours reminding me of sand or pebbles.....I made this quilt  using the pattern "Sweet Garden" from Carolina Patchworks.    I was intending to make the entire king size with this pattern -  and I did.  Then I hated it, so I chopped 2/3s of the pattern off and added white for some neutral breathing space.  
     
    Simple quilting in between the blocks.   
    And then I got carried away in the white.     [

    I have 3 of these quilts to quilt. Lera did this blue quilt and the pink quilts for her granddaughters for Christmas.  I have one more and it is in red, white and blue and is made by Virginia. The pattern is by Amy Bradley.
     
    Used 80/20 batting with Metro and Glide threads.  Thanks for looking. I think these two girl are going to be very happy!!!
     
    Of course there are more pictures on flickr.  LOL
