My top is done, now, what about the quilting?
 
We all enjoy creating our tops but when it comes to have it quilted in our home sewing machines it becomes a completely different story. On our March meeting, Marcia Baraldi will talk about how to make this easier and have good results.
As a teacher, her biggest challenge is to answer her student’s most frequent question:
 “Why can I sew/piece but have difficult quilting my tops?”
