What I did use and find extrememly useful for any bulky thing with layers: a walking foot. They're pricey as machine accessories go, but I shopped around and got one on ebay. I love it. If you go through my quilting label in this blog, you can see that I've machine quilted several quilts using very simple patterns that didn't require marking. You can do it! Good luck with your quilt!

I hadn't thought about machine quilting myself; I was thinking of taking it somewhere to machine quilt, but I bet I could do it if I added a makeshift arm on my machine. Love that you quilted it with gold thread!Lucille Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384981012696435205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-63258855038052772172010-05-03T22:22:16.575-04:002010-05-03T22:22:16.575-04:00It's gorgeous.

So I amused myself by making the shirt pocket into a patch in the quilt and then quilting carefully around it so it's functional.Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-16227334205590309322010-05-03T15:03:33.096-04:002010-05-03T15:03:33.096-04:00It's not the work of a novice.
