Judy Morningstar Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Any ideas, tips etc for longarming an already finished quilt made with pillowcase method? Batting is already inside; sides and top are finished, bottom is open. It is the extra the back takes when rolled that concerns me. Thanks for any ideas (besides saying "no" to the customer!)

quiltmonkey Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hi Judy. I've successfully quilted many pillow cased quilts without any issues. Most of them are not too big, though... baby and lap size. What is the size of this quilt? If you are nervous about the rolling and maybe getting pleats, I suggest that you pin baste it every five inches... (doesn't need to be safety pins... corsage pins are fine)... and then roll it on the frame and unpin as you quilt. It should quilt just fine... don't pull or tug too much tension while it's on the frame. I've actually been brave enough to pillow case a baby quilt made of minkee on both sides (yes call me crazy) and I quilted several of these. Talk about hugging a cloud! Good luck!
