probbins Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Any suggestions on how to use horizontal pattern boards to quilt vertical boarders? Only way I can think of is to turn the quilt around on the frame to make quilt border run horizontally like the pattern boards. Might be dumb question but I am new to this and you ladies have given me great help just by reading some of questions and answers. Thanks Quilting friends.

jimerickson Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 The best way to do it is to turn the quilt. While I don't use pattern boards per se, I turn the quilts when I do Quiltazoid border patterns, or long straight line quilting. It's just a matter of unpinning the quilt, rotating it 90 degrees and repinning. It usually takes about an half hour. BTW, I do all the horizontal quilting on the first pinning, before I turn it, and since the "sandwich" is completely secured, I only pin to one of the leaders when I turn. Hope this helps.

probbins Posted December 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Thanks Jim. One more question please. I have the queen size frame. When I turn the quilt will my frame be wide enough to attach the sides of the quilt to the top of the frame? Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimerickson Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 It depends on the size of the quilt (length). If the quilt is square you'll be fine. However, if the width is near your frame limit, and the length is longer, you might not be able to get it all on your leaders. You'll have to be creative in that situation.
