My biggest woe is quilting. I feel my quilting skills are very lacking and so I always dread this step. I have a pile of finished tops that have been sitting for years waiting on me to quilt them :( Reginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358487320629420702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523216276020125931.post-55400804568802154382014-03-06T13:30:40.783-05:002014-03-06T13:30:40.783-05:00I agree with Liza.

But trying to figure out how to quilt the top is definitely the least exciting part. Sometimes I just have to put the quilt away until another time until I can come up with a design that I like.Joyce Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829029971224353550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523216276020125931.post-70941950940557952662014-03-06T12:03:11.286-05:002014-03-06T12:03:11.286-05:00Good for you finishing an old UFO.

I have a HandiQuilter so that helps but I just look at the quilt and my mind goes blank.

It's probably a no-no but I use fusible batting when I can, if the quilt is a throw size on down I can usually handle it okay on the ironing board.Eat Sleep Quilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128823480396332414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523216276020125931.post-44391050261044123442014-03-05T23:16:59.239-05:002014-03-05T23:16:59.239-05:00My biggest woe is trying to figure out how to sew ...My biggest woe is trying to figure out how to sew while keeping my 17 month old toddler out of my sewing things, poking her fingers on my machine buttons and changing settings, turning machine power off at the surge protector, etc. you get the idea. I also think I do a good job quilting until I learn something new I "should" be doing. Sigh. Sometimes the shoulda take the fun out of sewing.

I have a small throat too, but can do FMQ on anything up to a twin size. BUT my pet peeve - for the price of them, sure wish rotary blades would last longer.Vroomans' Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07258050499246235109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523216276020125931.post-42829242059856907392014-03-05T21:09:08.417-05:002014-03-05T21:09:08.417-05:00Oh it is too bad you don't enjoy it....have yo...Oh it is too bad you don't enjoy it....have you tried hand quilting?
