Mama Said There Would Be Days Like This

Now I remember why I like quilting on a frame so much...you don't have to worry about the backing folding back on itself and getting caught up in the quilting!  #?darn*!  Mama said there would be days like this...time to break out the seam ripper.

    The same thing happened to me yesterday! I ripped out about 8 inches of stitching. Today I will tackle the job of restitching. The worst part is connecting the new stitches with the old.

    Been there, hated that. Once I even got a whole different piece of fabric caught in my machine quilting. Lane

    Can I tell you how I solved this problem? I FMQ 2-3 quilts a month on my DSM, so I have a little experience. I baste the quilt with spray, and that means I can start quilting ANYwhere on the quilt, not just the center. So I FMQ the borders first, keeping an eye on the backing edges. Once the whole border is done, I can cut off the excess backing and batting. Now I can FMQ the rest of the quilt without worrying about the backing folding back. Enjoy!
