  1. I recently sold my 2012 Lucey and purchased a new 2023 Lucey in June.  I will be purchasing Quilt Path this week at the Roadshow in Kamloops, BC.  I understand that there is a Quilt Path user group that I would like to join.  What is the process to request an invitation to become a member?

    I have experienced this issue as well.  I concur with sricharson's assessment, it is the backing fabric fibers that are rolling to the right side of your backing.  Moda and Maywood backings are especially troublesome.  I would suggest that when buying wide backing choose yarn dyed fabric. 
    Westrade backing is my go-to backing.  It is sometimes sold by Fabric.com.  A google search will likely will show other online buying options.  Westrade also has amazing wide flannels in addition to their 108" cottons.  They are a wholesale distributor and offer wholesale prices to longarm machine quilting businesses that have a tax number.

  3. 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.

  4. Currently, I use my domestic machine to attach the binding to one or both sides of the quilt, or alternatively, attach the binding to one side of the quilt by machine and then turn the binding and stitch it by hand.

    • $1.50 / linear ft. to attach the binding to the quilt to one side only;
    • $2.00 / ft. to attach the binding to the back of the quilt and then turn it to the front of the quilt. I use either a straight stitch or a decorative stitch on the front of the quilt depending on the circumstance. A decorative stitch looks great on a flannel quilt.
    • $3.50 / ft. to attach the binding to the front of the quilt by machine and then stitch the binding to the back by hand.
