Lined 3/4" - Extended Width Design
©2021 Leisha Farnsworth quiltingit.com
READ BEFORE PURCHASING: This design is a 3/4” line quilted back and forth. In order for the lines to have a 3/4” spacing, the design height must be set at 11.25”, and the width of the design is at 120”, making this an extended width design.
To use an extended width design you’ll have to understand how to set it up on your machine. For the Gammill Statler, which I use, I create a boundary and use repeat patterns. The design will extend beyond the width of the boundary, which I will then trim (crop) the excess that I don’t need. Extended width designs offer us the option of quilting certain designs that wouldn’t be possible or would take a great deal of time otherwise.
It is also your responsibility to figure out how to get your thread to not break when quilting from right to left. Tips for that… put your needle position at 5:30, a new needle, a finer thread, slow your machine down but not too slow, and you can spray your thread with distilled water. I’m sure there are other tips, those are just ones that work for me. I use Omni thread, and when I quilted the quilt pictured, I sprayed the Omni thread quite a bit. The thread broke a few times here and there, which is a vast improvement from 3 to 5 times each line quilted from right to left. Someone suggested Glide thread, to help with thread breaks.
