I have a question!


Recommended Posts

Hi there, I have a question about a quilt. MY MIL has a quilt for me that she tied and she wants me to quilt it for practice!

She said she doesn't really care what I do on it, she just wants me to have something to practice on. My question is, if it's already completed, do I have to take it all apart to quilt it on the machine? I haven't seen it yet, so I don't know if it has a binding or not. I only know it's tied. I already told her the ties will have to come out. Just wondering how I should handle this!

Barb,

If it does not already have binding on it, I would take it apart. The only problem you might encounter is that the backing will be cut to the same size as the quilt. If you run into this, baste some strips of muslin around the outside edges to attach your leaders and clamps to. You can easily remove them after you finish the quilting, if you use basting stitches.

If it does have binding on it, I would just quilt it as is.

Hope this helps.
