Judi Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Hi Carol - Welcome to the forum! I have done these and how I load it is to just pretend it has a straight bottom edge. Pin to your leader (or zipper) as if it were. You can usually line it up pretty well by following the piecing. Then I just lay the scallops into the leader and roll it like a normal, square quilt. Takes a bit more time in pinning and basting the top and side edges. It really helps if there is stay-stitching around the edges, or at least if they are nice and tight. You don't want to be pulling the seams apart! Good Luck!! We look forward to seeing some of your quilting..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stitches61 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hi to all -- I'm here in Sisters, OR and will be picking up my machine this Saturday in Salem. Can't wait to get started - Between family, friends, and my own - I should have lots to practice on to wet my Quilting Fever. I've been checking out all the good stuff in this website and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed about now. Thanks for sharing - this is a gold mine of information.

Guest Linda S Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hey Oregon Gals! I'm down here in Eugene! I probably won't go to the Sisters show this year because the old McKenzie Highway will be closed and I can't sneak in and out of town the back way. I like to avoid all that traffic.

BethDurand Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hey Linda and all, We're taking a bus from Portland to Sisters for the show. I've got a guest room if anyone wants to come and stay for a night or two. Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CucumberQuilting Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hi Tracy, We have an active group of longarm quilters here in Central Oregon. We meet occasionally to share ideas and support each other in our work. Linda Bussey from LaPine is our official, "official" and we'd love to have you join us next time we meet. I'll give her a heads up to contact you. She's on this chat quite often and I'm sure you'll here from her. IN the meantime, enjoy! ~~ Eva H.
