    Debi reacted to quiltmonkey in Same size Backing and Top   
    Even if you sew scraps of fabric to all four sides, if the quilt top is the same size as the back, it's absolutely impossible to avoid quilting the extra strip's seam line into the quilt while quilting it. Trust me in my 15 years of longarm quilting, it is nearly impossible to accomplish this very difficult and extremely stressful situation. 
    I would contact customer and ask her to provide you with larger backing fabric that is at a minimum 8" wider and  8" longer than the quilt top. 
    My job is to quilt the customer's quilt without pulling my hair out... it's not my job to perform miracles due to the failure of the customer to provide ample backing fabric. IMHO.

    Debi reacted to LisaC in Sew Tweet Finally Complete!   
    Sew Tweet, a  pattern by Chitter Chatter Designs. I hand appliqued and embroidered the blocks in 2014; along with completing the top. Finally this year, I free motion quilted it on my Mille. This was a very fun project began by me and Lisa E. in 2014.  It was my first attempt at embroidery; I was so blessed my Mother used to do all my embroidery, but she has since passed away. The blue birds remind of Cinderella birdies!!

    UPDATED FEB 3,2022
    Thank you for your overwhelming interest in this piece I quilted for my client back in 2015.  
    many have inquired about the pattern for the quilt as well as the digital patterns for the quilting.  
    I have attached the book used to inspire this piece as my client did do modifications to the pattern 
    for the Stars to fit her liking.  
    The Quilting was all freehand on my APQS Milli.  of course,... you could use a feather stencil or digital feather design 
    and a ruler for the straighline work... 
    I hope this helps anyone looking to make this quilt,.. or a version of it,.. 
    Happy Quilting
    Laura

    Update,..... 
    I did point out mistake to customer and we both decided it needed to be fixed. 
    so,... spent an afternoon picking out stitches,  and 10 minutes to restitch the Feather,...
    I was happy to do it as it was my mistake,.... 
    I always point out mistakes if any,.. big or small
    and let the customer decide,.... 
    this one I knew she would want fixed,.... 
    She is very pleased with the end result!!! 
    and so am I!!! 
    Thanks for looking ,.... 
    Happy Quilting,...

    Love the combination of the two,...  Simple,.. with a pop!!! 
    I used a double Cotton Batting on this one,..  wanted the feathers to stand up
    and take center stage,... Matching Glide Threads in the Grey, Burgundy and White Areas,...
    Thanks for looking,...
     
    ** can you see the mistake?  Found it after I pulled it off the frame,....  :0)
