K. Szymaszek Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Hi all, has anyone quilted fabric with rubbery embellishments on the back, slippery fabric also. I was concerned about tension but as I am rolling it onto frame some of the gold pieces are falling off. I am now concerned about these pieces getting into my bobbin-hook area and if it will reek havic! Fabric from JoAnns and of course they told her it would be fine to quilt. Appreciate your input. Thanks, K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaC Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 My experience is the needle has a hard time penetrating those; it will cause timing issues and thus tension issues & skipped stitches. I have only seen them on a quilt top; not the backing. I would worry too, about the needle trying to pop them off. I would ask her to provide a new backing. Good Luck!

iquiltit Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 My 2 cents worth. There is no way I would attempt to quilt this on my Millie, it is a nightmare waiting to happen. Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchanted Quilting Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 It would be a no go for me! Tell her she can make cute placemats out of it:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K. Szymaszek Posted November 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Thanks ladies, I did call her and she was great about it. She will replace and bring to me. Placemats are a good idea Charlotte, I was also thinking table cloth as it is for a king and gigantic! K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeke Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Ok kids, here it is. It's been a while since I quilted one of these, but I could never say no to someone.I had a gal bring me a bunch of theses quilts years ago when they first started making this fabric. I never had any trouble at all. Both my machines went through it without any concerns. Piece of cake. The nice thing about this is that you could lay it out on tile or hardwood floor and it would make this real cool tapping noise. Zeke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
