Two more -

 

 

Miles of binding - 

 

For my Antique Squirrel - BIG BROTHER version - 

 

Is ready to go - 

 

It's not really "miles" -

But binding always seems to be so long it might as well be -  LOL -

 

 

And two more rows are quilted - 

 

On my Upstairs/Downstairs - Wild Things - 

 

Row #3 was stitched left to right - 

Row #4 was stitched right to left - 

 

It might be a southpaw thing - 

But stitching it from right to left seems to be easier for me -

 

And I only have two more rows to go - 

This frame is the PERFECT size for my Upstairs/Downstairs quilts - 

They come out to 60" x 80" (10" blocks - 6 x 8 layout) - 

And loading it sideways allows me to quilt one long row at a time - 

Then I only have to quilt 6 long rows instead of 8 short ones - YAY!! -

This quilt has taken a while -

But it "marinated" for a time while I decided how I wanted to quilt it - 

The actual quilting has gone pretty quickly (after my "chores") -

If I had tried to quilt this on my other frame - 

It would have taken me f.o.r.e.v.e.r. - 

And I would have spent a lot of that time re-hooping it - 

I am SO glad I upgraded to this frame - 

It suits my needs SO much better than the other one - 

And this machine is PERFECT for me -

 

It has a 15" inch throat that gives me a 12" deep work space - 

 

And that's about as far as I can reach sitting down - 

 

So this combination of machine and frame suits me just fine -

 

I'm REALLY looking forward to getting my tops quilted - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
