What is the best size quilts to make for charity?
@DaraTomasson 3 ай бұрын
It really depends on the need that you helping. For example, if you want to support young mom’s then baby size. Or if you want to help teens or kids I would make lap size. If you want to help at shelters I would ask if they want twin bed size or lap.

I'm a longarmer and much prefer customers to not trim the minky till after they get it back from me. That way I have less fuzz and they only have fuzz once. I'll mount it so they get the biggest possible scrap back for another project. Also find a background in learning to sew back when double knits were popular really comes in handy.

Dara, I don't want the baby quilt to be heavy. Will it be ok to not use batting?
@DaraTomasson Жыл бұрын
I haven't had success with skipping the batting.
@fondasarff9701 10 ай бұрын
I've quilted dozens of Minky backed baby quilts which were nice and light while being cudly. The secret is poly batting. Poly fil. And it machine dries faster.

Why wouldn't you just tape at the edges of the backing? I make sure they are lined up, that way my backs are usually straight .

I have always quilted with Minky on my domestic and never had issues. I have most recently bought a long arm with pro stitcher. I keep having the issue of my thread breaking with Minky. I’ve changed my needle and using 90/14. I have checked the tension, slowed down the speed and use glide thread which is supposedly the best. I asked my local quilting store and their response was “oh we don’t use Minky and everyone in the quilting world hates it.” So I’m reaching out because that is not an answer that I will accept!
@DaraTomasson Жыл бұрын
Minky is a little bit tricky but I love it and so do the receivers of the quilt. I struggled with Glide initially but as I gained a little more confidence with adjusting my tension I was found of it. How many quilts have you quoted so far? How confident do you feel generally with glide and your machine? Minky does add another element to your skill set. One of the reasons people struggle with Minky is that the ‘fluff’ sometimes comes up into the top of the quilt. That’s why I recommend a light weight backing if the top of the quilt is light weight. Step 1- get comfortable with your machine and glide Step 2 practice on. The side of the quilt with the Minky and adjust your tension as you go. Let me know how that goes.

@@DaraTomasson thank you so much I appreciate the help! Actually I just my quilting machine and tackled Minky first, probably not the smartest but I am comfortable with Minky from other quilts I’ve done on domestic machines. I plan on doing a non Minky quilt soon to practice more. I was just wondering if there was something else I was not doing right. Again thank you!

Hi I've just found you. Actually I've been using Glide.well..so many people are saying it is good for longarming, but it gives me trouble. everytime I change bobbin it breaks so often by being caught in backlash spring. It is really annoying. I was wondering this was similar to yours..? If I try other kind thread, problem will be solved..?

Hormones affect your quality of sleep. If you struggle with falling asleep you may have high progesterone and if you walk up between 3-5 am you may be lacking estrogen. The way you think affects those hormone levels. I am curious what your pattern is.

Omg!😱 I just stumbled on Dara when watching Lisa Bongean videos. After watching and hearing Lisa talk about having a baby at 17. I was in the same situation. My daughter was born in September after my junior year. I went on to get my diploma and a bachelors degree at age 33. During all my adult life I have struggled with my weight. More so from my mid 30’s until now. This traumatic event and subsequent disappointment I have been punishing myself since then. I have had successful careers, a beautiful family including my son born when I was 22. Married to the same man all these years. A son-in-law, daughter-in-law and 4 grands. We have built an envious life however it’s obvious how unkind I’ve been to myself and my husband. God brought me to y’all and this video. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can’t wait to talk to my therapist about this. God bless you both.
