My Un-Quilting Adventures ~ Part 1 ~ Ribbit ~ Ribbit ~ Ribbit


What do I do when I have a quilt more than half quilted on my regular sewing machine

... and I am not happy with the quilting ...

... so I put it aside in my closet for a few months ... 

... and now my new long arm quilting machine should arrive (hopefully) next week.

We are still waiting for the frame to arrive.

I know I am never going to finish it on my regular machine.

I would have done so by now.


The "strand" quilting is not all that "bad."
However, it was making this light and airy top look "heavy" though.
Also, I had difficulty wrestling this large quilt top
on my regular sewing machine.
I became achy and frustrated
and got a wrinkle in the backing.
I just put it aside and it has  been the ghost of summer past
haunting me from my closet.

I think this quilt top is one of the reasons that helped me to finally decide
I needed to commit to getting the long arm.

It seems only right it should be my first quilt on my new Amara 20.



This was my " Last Quilt of Summer 2018" posted Here

I will be sew much happier with this quilt if I make this effort.

So I here I sit with my trusty seam ripper ...
