Grammie Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Ok I am planning to do my first wholecloth starting next weekend after I have my zippers installed. Something I am puzzled about is if you have a quilt that you have started for example I will need to outline the trapunto with my water soluable thread and then a customer calls and I need to unload this quilt to work on a customers quilt. How do you reload this quilt even with zippers? What am I missing here. I mean this quilt may only be quilted half way down at the time. I mean will it simply float when reloaded? Where is my correct unloading point? What if I am halfway thru the actual quilting process? Guess you can tell I'm working my night shift. I start worrying about stuff like this when reading all my quilting stuff. Can someone help me understand this please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LA Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Hey Tammie Grammie! Be sure to leave all of your pinned zippers on when you remove the unfinished quilt. When you re-load, zip the top zipper to the take up roller, then proceed with the backing & roll & smooth as you go, then lay the batting over the backing fabric,& smooth out, then proceed with the top of the quilt doing the same, smoothing out as you go. Once you get started it is pretty obvious how you orient everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grammie Posted January 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Thanks Linda, I will be so glad when I can take some classes to cover all the questions in my head. I just can't wait for a class to try trapunto. I am going to do the faux first. I guess I will "JUST DO IT". Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
