Also, I imagine with heavy quilting that I'd get distortion problems with table-top quilting, too, even with basting, if I just started all gung-ho at one end and worked across. Good to see how you do bits and pieces to get the stability online first. Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424861624240818479noreply@blogger.com
