Re: Weekend Plans!

Yes, just a regular sewing machine. I did upgrade last year to one with a much wider throat (the space between the needle and the main body of the machine) but you don’t need a big machine to piece (sew your blocks together). A standard sized machine is fine for quilting even pretty big quilts like up to double size. You just have to be creative with rolling and clamping the spots you aren’t working on.

My first one that I did just to test if I could inside my regular machine was a panel quilt. I used the Riley Blake National Parks panel (it’s like $16 on Amazon), a twin size cotton quilt batting (Quilter’s Dream, request loft, which is the thinnest of that line but more importantly for me it was the cheapest), and I used the flat sheet of a thrifted sheet set for the backing. I just put the layers together and then sewed around each rectangle in the panel. It turned out amazing! It’s my favorite blanket in the house although I do wish now I had used the next thickest batting. I made a second one for my MIL and used a double layer of Quilter’s Dream Select and backed it with a flannel sheet. She lives in a much colder climate and says it’s the only blanket she needs at night.

Thank you! I prefer thin quilts and wall-hanging types of textiles anyway; I don't think I'd be making king size ones or anything versus maybe a throw for my couch. This is helpful. :)
