Quilt Quilting...Space for the Quilt...


Doing some large curves with the AcuFeed foot....Very restful quilting, although you do have to get the whole thing through the harp often. Altogether a relaxing activity though, as I have done other quilts this way. I use the "scrunch" method and keep the part I am working on smoothed out, but the rest bunched up for ease of motion.


My setup is two Gidget tables - one has the big Elna with AcuFeed, and one is cleared of machines.  Positioned lengthwise, and then I add the ironing board to the front on the left for more "table" space. It's a workable system that is flexible, and of course can be smaller when the ironing board is away. And then a machine can use the second table when needed. I love my setup. Works well for me in either this mode or for my Pfaff when I do free motion. When I do free motion, I position TWO ironing boards by the Pfaff. One on my left perpendicularly, and the other behind the machine table.  Here is my setup!


It is handy to have sewing room furniture you can fold up and put away when space is needed.

Good ideas there. Lack of a good-sized sewing table is probably why people sew on the dining room table.

Oh sorry I did not see your comment till now! Thank you! Yes, I can't see spending money I don't have to for the few quilts I do in a given year! 😆
