I loaded the Carolinas quilt onto Eduard yesterday. It was all ready to go. Machine cleaned and oiled and greased. Back put on with two batts - a Dream Cotton Select with Hobbs 80/20 on top, then the top was loaded and basted down.
I'm using Aurifil 50 wt thread, a light grey, on the front and back.
Today I got three of the blocks quilted. I have decided to do something simple yet hand done. Basically, I'm going to mimic one of the lines of the block and do parallel lines about a half inch apart. I'm pulling the threads up, knotting them and burying them into the quilt (instead of doing a tie-off stitch). This is time-consuming.
Wish me luck.
