Who Else Has a Bunch of Unfinished Quilts Stacked in Their Closet Just Waiting for Some Quilting Time? With This Easy-to-Use Machine Quilting Frame, You Can Turn Your Home Sewing Machine into a Machine Quilting WonderFrom: Penny Halgren Dear Friend, If you are anything like I am, there is at least one stack of unfinished quilts (more commonly known as UFOs) in your closet. I'll admit to having a stack of quilt tops in the closet, a couple on the back of the couch. And two or three on my quilt rack. And all are waiting for the same thing - layering and quilting! Last year, we journeyed on The Machine Quilting Adventure, exploring the world of machine quilting on our home sewing machine. While it was certainly fun, and an adventure, my frustration still was with what to do with the bulk of the quilt. Oh, the expert machine quilters say "Just roll it into the hole of your sewing machine." Or maybe - just "jam it through there." That kind of worked for the quilt project at the time. But it was only a lap size quilt. And even then, it was somewhat challenging to get enough flat space to keep the tucks and pleats out of the back of the quilt. Plus, I started out with a flat spot, but as soon as I moved the quilt 2-3 inches in one direction or the other, my flat spot disappeared, and I had a bunch of quilt again. For years I have avoided machine quilting. It's too hard. It's cheating. I'm a hand quilter. And my recent experience in machine quilting didn't change my mind much. Because the bulk of the quilt was still a problem. But, I decided to explore more of the world of machine quilting and see what there was to see. As I wandered around the Houston Quilt Market last October, I got pretty excited when I ran across this machine quilting frame. This quilting frame can be used with your home sewing machine. And the frame can be folded up and stored hanging on a wall. You don't even need to create the pulley system to raise it up on the ceiling like they did two hundred years ago, or buy a beautiful frame that could be considered a piece of furniture.
And Next Tuesday, John Watts Will Join Us so You Can Ask Your Burning Question His Machine Quilting Frame
Although John is located way down under in Australia, he has graciously agreed to join us. He'll be on our Eavesdrop on a Telephone Conversation on March 11, beginning at 5pm Pacific Time, 6pm Mountain Time, 7 pm Central Time and 8 pm Eastern Time. You can relax in the comfort of your home, Eavesdrop and then ask John your machine quilting frame question live. You in your part of the world, John in his part. By the end of the evening call, you will know:
In short, John will answer some pretty detailed questions about how to use his quilting frame, and what you must consider when you purchase a quilting frame. And because there is so much information, you'll want to both listen to the call, and get a copy of the CD so you can listen to it whenever you want. Even after jotting down notes, it's amazing how much we forget when we hear something only one time. Plus, I don't know about you, but trying to find notes I took evan two weeks ago can present a challenge sometimes. Besides, we all know that stuff happens in the background when we're on the phone - the dog barks, the baby decides it's time to complain about a dirty diaper, or someone comes in looking for a cold drink. It's especially easy to get distracted when it's not you primarily involved in the conversation. The bottom line is that for a small investment of $24.97 - before the call - you can have this recorded call and pull it out when your Enquiring Quilting Mind has a specific question. After the call, the price goes up to $27.97. Or, if you are in Germany, Bolivia or Romania, maybe you would rather sleep, and rely on other quilters to answer your question. Because we are getting this CD professionally edited and copied, the quality should be excellent. And, we are armed with information so folks can mute themselves out and reduce the background noise. By registering for the FREE call, you will get all of the information about the call, including the list of questions and worksheets. That way, you'll know exactly what to expect and be prepared with your buring question when the lines open up. Remember, the call is free, although you may have to pay long distance charges.
Happy Quilting!
