I was taught to float, sometimes when I get to the end the bottom border is a mess 😵💫 I grew up in KC and got to see some great games in person at the stadium.
The red snappers go on both the top and bottom. There is a red plastic dowl that you insert into your leader hem and that is what you snap the snappers to.
I was confused when I started watching because you said you stopped floating your quilts, partly because you were scared you would ruin them by stepping on them. My definition of floating, as a newbie, is that it is not attached to the belly bar(s) but "floats" off the top of one of the bars. But it seems that after you have basted it, the quilt is still just hanging over the front bar. So in my (perhaps incorrect) understand of "floating", it is still floating after it has all been basted. What is your definition of floating? And how does this basting technique help you not to step on the quilt?
After seeing this video I tried it. Game changing. I feel so much more confident in my quilting! Absolutely huge difference for me. Thank you! I also like that I don’t have dog hair all over the bottom of the quilt!
I recently tried Glide after using Omni for many years. I put it in bobbin as well. Horrible thread breakage. I was so frustrated! Then I put Omni in my bobbin and totally different experience. I wish I had seen this when I was having issues. I will try changing the thread path to see if that makes a difference too!
Thank you so much for this video. I tried it and had great success. It was so nice to see up front that my quilt Was going to be all squared before I started quilting.
I'm actually, as I'm watching this, quilting a "cheater" DWR quilt top and also figured out to do stitch in the ditch with large curves. So glad I found this video thanks for making it !
