tyquilter Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 I am considering purchasing the 12" Circle Lord spiral template. I watched a YouTube video but not sure what other equipment is needed. I have a Millie. Also, does it take a long time to quilt an entire quilt using just a 12" template?

Corey Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Yes, you need the giant boards & stylus for faster/easier & quicker result, contact Michael of Circle Lord for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankiequilter Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Tyra, to use the 12" template you need the Circle Lord unit and a stylus. There is a way to use the Circle Lord unit on the front of the Millie and it is the easiest way to stitch since you can see more easily for positioning the stitching. To use the giant boards, as Corey mentioned, you would need a stylus and the boards lay on the back of the table. I hope that helps, but post any more questions you may have.

Brenni Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 I am currently using the swirls on a 60x90 quilt. It will take 8 full passes. I work from the back. It takes me 10-15 minutes per full pass. It takes 5 minutes to move it forward and start the next pass. This includes nailing down the sides with stay stitching and changing bobbins. I don't use pre-wounds. I change the bobbin on every pass to prevent changes in the middle. (I wind the first bobbin then see what is left after the first pass to determine how much to put on the other bobbins. This saves wasted thread.) I will complete my top in a total of 3 hours. I remember doing a queen size recently and it was less than 4 hours. You do need a stylus. I always position the boards after I load the quilt so that pattern lines up evenly on both sides. I have 8 different CL boards and love them all. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
