The fair is coming to Bakersfield next week. I thought I would honor the fair by talking about my cowboy boot quilt I made for my sister-in-law last year. I made this quilt before I bought my Handi Quilter longarm. The quilt was quilted on my Bernina. I marked the quilt before quilting and also did some free motion quilting on it. I wish I would of took a picture of the setup I had for the Bernina. I had the sewing machine in our great room on a small fold up table. We bought a Styrofoam insulation board and cut it up to fit around the sewing machine to make a wide flat surface. The styrofoam was an inch and a half thick I believe and we doubled it up to bring it to the surface of the sewing machine. It worked out pretty well. I still wouldn't go back to it now that I have a longarm. The thing I hated the most about quilting on my Bernina was sandwiching the quilt on the ground. I am too old for that.... well at least I feel like I am! It sure was a lot of work. Som
