People who tried this

β€œI've been sewing for a few years, and just recently started exploring quilting. Throughout this process with the first one, I learned so much about piecing and accuracy. Moving it through the machine was an experience - I was ready to quit! I read that rule #1 to quilting is "finish every quilt". I'm so glad I stuck with it. I have a ton of fabric and squares/shapes cut to move forward with the next quilt. Looking forward to perfecting this craft.”

β€œAfter finishing with the practice sandwich, it was now time to actually quilt my project! This was both exciting and terrifying all at the same time. [...] Six inches into my first quilting pass for an anchoring line, I ditched (ha ha) that plan. It didn't take long for me to discover I didn't like that method at all. [...] I went very slowly with the quilting as my machine was not super pleased with the weight of the quilt, even with rolling it and using a makeshift extension table.”

β€œThis is my very first quilt, and honestly… it pushed me way harder than I expected. Nothing is perfect, my seams wandered more than I’d like, and I had a few β€œwhat am I doing” moments but I stuck with it.”
