I’m still deciding…I found it quite frustrating at first because I hadn’t the machine tension set correctly (I was too impatient to practice first) but as I went on I got the hang of it. It’s definitely easier than manipulating huge amounts of fabric through a domestic machine.
It got more heavily quilted than if I’d just been doing my normal straight lines quilting, which looks more effective. But this meant a lot more sewing.
But the one think that concerns me is that the weight of the quilt is resting on single seams that join the blocks. Whereas in a regular quilt, the weight (eg if it was hanging off a bed, or being pulled about) is been taken up by the strength of the intact backing fabric as well as seams to join the top.
So overall, I’m really glad to learn the technique and it definitely is something I’ll try again, but maybe for small, light quilts (like this one)
