queenie123 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 OMG its awesome ,I am new to longarming and one of my main reasons for buying it was for personal use and I have been longing to do a whole cloth and I was just thinking today about doing one with a print on the back but now that I have seen this I know I am ,maybe a baby bluish , any suggestions on thread choices ,I have a milli ,should I use the same in top and bottom ? Could I cheat and just add extra loft batting in my big design areas ? I love the great work posted here !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibbyG Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Jess, I always love your work! You forgot to enter in MQX in emerging entrants. You could also enter wholecloth with this one, too. Just curious, did you travel when you did the crosshatching or bury your threads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfly Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Libby, I always travel and never knot and burry. Ick. Judy, I just go insane. Queenie123, I have used wool over 80/20 for a trapunto look without actually having to cut away batting. I posted a pic of one a while back. I also like bottom line for heavy background fill and always use magna classics on the back. I like sofine on the back though too. Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfly Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Libby, I was going to enter something in the Emerging Entrant's category this year at MQX but didn't because it became such a hassle for me....I would have had to apraise a quilt and mail it, which probably isnt a big deal for most people but I have so much drama in my household...teenage daughters and so much more. It was just too much to consider. Maybe another year. Anyway, I am planning on puting this one into our county fair. It will get me a free pass every day, and thats great since my husband and I enjoy dropping in for lunch frequently....so many yummy things to eat!
