I quilted a quilt today. No comments about the lesbian quilter please.
TOTD: Probably go see a movie or buy a book.
Did you start and finish a whole quilt in one day?
No, I just "quilted" it. First someone makes the quilt top (this one was someone else's quilt top), then you put all the layers together in a "quilt sandwich". A quilt sandwich is the three layers of a quilt: the quilt top, the inner quilt batting and the backing. On my machine you load the backing by pinning it to the fabric leaders, then you put the batting on and then the quilt top. The quilting part is when I use my longarm to stitch the layers together.
Here is a picture of my longarm quilting machine:
If you already knew the above, disregard what I just said.
