I use the same needles as well. Love the microtex for piecing and mq. I've mq'ed a King or two on my dsm, and agree about the large, flat space helping with the 'stuff and fluff' method. I also end up stacking wips and ufos on the table; there's never enough room in the sewing room!

One thing I love to use is 505 temporary basting spray! By using that, I haven't needed to pin or baste even a huge queen size quilt that I took a couple weeks to completely quilt! <br /><br />Since I'm apparently an Elaine Adair "stalker", er.. "Fan", I'm interested to know where you've found quilting patterns you enjoy?gardenpathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00401840113446791143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-67908115344285925612013-05-22T22:50:39.382-07:002013-05-22T22:50:39.382-07:00You are a brave women.

I enjoy learning from other experienced quilters. <br /><br />I, too, found that when quilting on a DSM (mine is identical to yours, you know) it is easier not to roll, band. whatever the quilt. Just push it out of the way. Having a table behind or beside the sewing machine helps keep the weight of the quilt from pulling it while it's under the needle, too. <br /><br />Eager to see this finished.~Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05599647758618747101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-90685634493247381242013-05-22T13:12:37.822-07:002013-05-22T13:12:37.822-07:00I used to call that method of arranging the quilt ...I used to call that method of arranging the quilt for DSM quilting the "Stuff & Fluff" method. :) It worked, but I'm so grateful to have my Gammill Premier now.QuiltinLibraryLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16392850776832804028noreply@blogger.com
