chuckster46 Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Some time ago I asked for advise about working on a very old quilt. As usual many of you offered very good advise. Thank you all! I managed to convince the customer that it would be best to stay very traditional with the quilting. The results: Used the HF. I have a 10 foot machine so I had to move the fence to the other side of the Milli at the end of each row as the quilt was 87 inches wide. I back tracked on the previous fans and did a continuous stich form side to side. Happy quilting to all, Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyJo Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Hi Chuck - Your quilting really looks nice on this quilt. I'm glad that you were able to convince the customer that this traditional quilting would look best on their traditional quilt. A very nice job.

Cheryll Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Great job chuck somewhere up in heaven someone is rejoicing because their quilt got finished. I had the pleasure of having 3 of my grandma's tops quilted before I got my machine. It was a joy to think that I had finished or should say got finished 3 of her tops. I wasn't even sure if they were hers or her mothers. Way to go and a great job. Cheryll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckster46 Posted September 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 The customer came by today and picked up the quilt. She loved it. So, again a big thank you to all who provided input on staying traditional. I have a second quilt of equal age to do for this lady and she told me to just go with what ever I thought was best. I think this one will be clam shell just to provide a little varity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
