sharni Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I had such a nightmarish time quilting my first quilt. Needle problems, thread problems, tension, TENSION problems. That one was for my oldest grand daughter. I loaded my second quilt for my second grand daughter last night. This morning I took a deep breath and started on a panto at about 9AM. At 12:30 PM, with an hour and a half break for lunch and to check email, I took it off finished! It went as smooth as warm butter. I think I am getting the knack.....and I had a lot of helpful suggestions from my friends here on the forum when I had so many problems with the first one. See, I listened to you! I posted the pic again, don't know why it got deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibbyG Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Yes, we've all been there. Sometimes I felt I'd never get the tension right and then all at once, I was zipping them off the frame. So glad it's working for you, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
