whitepinesquilter Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Heidi, I saw pictures in an old post of the big base expander you made. I'm wondering if you still use it, and if so if you've made any modifications? I'm considering doing this, and I'm wondering if you found the base needed any additional support under the extended part to keep them from bowing/sagging downward due to the 1/4" thickness weight? Thanks, Heidi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Marci I haven't used it in a while. I used it only when doing high end custom quilts and it worked wonderfully. I never had any problems with sagging or beding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitepinesquilter Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Thanks, Heidi, for letting me know! My DB is making it like you did but had asked me if you added supports. I'm looking forward to a little more support. I think it will help me with control going slow. Something to look forward to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage Keepsakes Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 That base is fantastic and I'm thinking I might need to upsize my current model, but I have to say,...... Wow!!! The quilt that was posted in this thread. Heidi,... your Karen Mctavish inspired quilt, is absolutely breath taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
