I made a king size commission quilt where I double batted it using one Hobbs cotton/wool blend batting and one Quilters Dream 100% Wool batting on top. The backing was extra wide flannel. The customer specifically wanted a heavy quilt. She was pleased, it turned out well, nice loft and good stitch definition. Leslie

DJ Have you tried using a new bobbin case? Over time, from use or if you have dropped it, the bobbin case can warp. Leslie

lkl replied to vicheaton's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
That's a really good price (< $8.00 per panto) for someone wanting to start or add to their panto collection. I've used many of them, it is a great selection on some very popular pantographs. Leslie -

Quilt as you go on the longarm
lkl replied to cegates's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
If my memory is correct, I think I remember Dawn (APQS) teaching a Quilt As You Go class on a longarm in Edmonton a number of years ago. On second thought, It might have been appliquing using a LA. (Either way, it was a class, she might have the instructions for sale). Leslie -

Cindy I don't change the stitch length when basting down the top, sides etc.in SR if the stitches are not going to be removed. I usually set the spi at about 11 but will use 10 when quilting a flannel top or increase it to 12 if I am stitching a denser design. If I am basting down an area where I will be removing the stitches when I will single basting stitch (using the white left button) 1/4 to 1/2 " apart. If it is a large area then I turn off the SR and baste the area accordingly and try to keep the stitches under 1/2". Leslie

I follow the same method as Lovemyavy. Incidentally, those large totes can hold a lot of fabric! Leslie -

I think people have confused monopoly with nylon thread. Nylon thread is nasty and will melt if ironed or put in a hot dryer. If your serger thread is strong enough, then use it.

Bobbin Thread Breaks When I First Start
lkl replied to CrazyQuilter's topic in Ask The Expert - Thread, Needle, Bobbins
What thread are you using in the bobbin? Try Bottom Line thread by Superior threads it is a 60 wt. and is an excellent bobbin thread. Also check your bobbin tension. I use a Towa tension gauge but you can also use the Jamie Wallen test. Here is the youtube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1mRhcquZTM Leslie
