If it were me, I would send it out and have someone else quilt it. That way you can just enjoy it when it returns, without all the bad "energy" from all the quilting troubles. Sometimes the quilts are like children--they behave for others but not for their parents!

It just might be worth the peace of mind to hand it over to a longarmer so that you will love it again.

To me this looks like your thread tension is too loose - maybe try tightening it - sometimes I have to tighten mine a ton until it works correctly. It depends on the thread. I made a practice sandwich and changed my thread tension until it was finally working correctly and was able to finish the quilt.<br /><br />Are you using a thread you don't normally use?Elise Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09438500821288052061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4853776165556261588.post-67018250626032280672015-04-16T14:39:25.059-04:002015-04-16T14:39:25.059-04:00Looks like you are really 'dragging' this ...Looks like you are really 'dragging' this thru the machine. SOmetimes the mix of heavy seaming on the front and the mix of different fabrics with a pieced back cause this. If it is a simple open meander you are going for - I think for peace of mind would be to have it longarmed - not sure what the pricing is in your area (you can get quotes), but to me it would be worth it. I now quilt most of mine, but when I run into a 'head clunker' I find it easier on myself to send it out.Vroomans' Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07258050499246235109noreply@blogger.com
