HQ16 cuts my labor in 1/6


Hi this is Matt with QuiltCetera.Com. I spend a lot of time quilting and not much time blogging. I am going to be catching you all up on some of my most recent projects.

Today I want to talk about a pile of panels I bought months ago and forgot I had. Bradie sent me out to the local fabric store to buy her 4 matching panels with a children's theme. I came home with about 40 panels of various themes.

Luckily I remebered panels for Bradie and she whipped off a
Baby Rag Time Tutorial.

I had all but forgotten about the other panels, until yesterday, while cleaning out the crawl space, I came across this huge bag full of panels. As I came up the stairs I noticed the HQ16 was empty and I knew if I jumped on it I could have a project whipped off in no time at all. I honestly didn't expect it to go so fast.


I loaded Three Rag quilts at the same time


This took a total of 12 panels and an hour and a half to load the long arm,
quilt the lines across the quilts, slash cut between the seams, unload the Long arm.


Now all I need to do is Bind the three quilts. I'm amazed how much time I saved on this project using the HQ16!

How to pass the day thinking about a long arm machine.


I'm sure you all have a wish list of things you'll probably never get,
but what if someone you love wins the lottery and asks you what you would like?
You better have an answer ready!


Here is my WishList!
