And keep the rest of the quilt supported, by your own body or the table behind the sewing machine. The less the quilt hangs the easier it will be to maneuver. And if your machine has the ability to move at half speed then use that. Good luck!Cheryl Arkisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552721454371060936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-38645159607987081012008-09-24T22:00:00.000-05:002008-09-24T22:00:00.000-05:00Your pillows are absolutely adorable and I espical...Your pillows are absolutely adorable and I espically love that your took something old (smelly quilt) and made something new.
