Grace Longarm Quilting Tip #6: LOADING A QUILT 

Thank you. You got your point across very well with a minimum of distracting “chatter”. Made it so easy to follow your instructions and follow them.

I wish there was more detail about the direction of winding each of the layers onto rollers.

You are an awesome teacher. I am soon going to own a Q’Nique 15R. I find your teaching skills excellent for me to follow along with you. I will be using the 8ft frame. Space is a premium or I would go the King Size model. Looking forward to starting. Thanks so much! x

which way (to the inside or over to the outside) does the fabric roll onto the take-up roller at the top? Or does it matter?

I do NOT baste down the sides because you will not be able to work out any fullness from the center to the edges. I also use the flat, flower pins that Grace Co sells. That way, as the quilt is rolled up, there are no big lumps. It's a matter of even spacing between pins.

I see how you do that, however, did you ever roll up the entire backing and batting first- when you did the partial quilt method. ?- OR Is the backing and batting lying on the floor in a pile the entire time?

Why corsage pins?

Top first??? Odd

made me crazy, sorry but, you have a good voice

I wanted to scream, DO NOT put pins in your mouth!

in either method do you roll the batting onto a rail?
