Almost everyone I talk to is interested in learning Free Motion Quilting.
And the biggest question asked is “How do I get that big quilt underneath my machine?”
As mentioned, I am starting the quilting on this BIG quilt……

…..and have loved quilting with Wool batting.
BUT, the biggest enjoyment in this process has been figuring out how to set my machine up to handle it.
Check out this video that shows you ALL of my tricks……
You can purchase the Dog Grooming Bars at your local pet store and the Quilt Blocks can be purchased HERE.
I am having SUCH FUN quilting on this and I can’t wait to share more with you throughout the week.

Loved your set up for machine quilting. Could you provide details on the clamps you’re using with the dog grooming bars. Thank you.
Hi Cathy. They actually came with a quilt rack that I bought but I measured them and I think that they are the 4.5 muslin clamps….. on Amazon…. https://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Duty-Muslin-Clamps-inch/dp/B004AZ38Z0/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=344Y9QZ102BI&&keywords=clamp+plastic&&nav_sdd=aps&&qid=1693350466&&sprefix=clamps&&sr=8-1-spons&&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&&psc=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=francesquilts-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=1ac1a7b579d5a8aff07826f456107838&camp=1789&creative=9325%22%3eClamps%3c/a%3e
