Nancy made this lovely modern Making Waves quilt which is a free pattern on the Art Gallery Fabrics website. She bought the fabric as a kit at Keystone Modern Creative a few years ago. The fabric line is called Catch and Release by Art Gallery.
Nancy likes her quilts to be densely quilted so I had the perfect panto, Time Warp! I used a teal So Fine thread and Quilters Dream Blend batting.
She brought a Northcott Shimmer wide backing and it matched so well! I used dark grey Magna Glide bobbins for the back. I have switched over to using the Magna Glide bobbins this year. I use to wind my own Bottom Line bobbins but was having a lot of tension issues once the bobbin was half empty. Might have been my winder, might have been my bobbin, no idea. But once I switched over to the Magna Glide bobbins no issues so I'm happy I made the change.
The quilt and machine quilting are fantastic! I looked online for Magna Glide Bobbins. Are they only available in 40 wt? I usually use 50 wt thread on top and bottom (So Fine from Superior Threads) in my sit-down mid-arm APQS George. What do you use as the top thread? I look forward to your reply.
ReplyDeleteMagna Glide Classic are 60wt and that is what I use. It creates great results with the 50 wt So Fine thread on the top. I mainly use So Fine as the top thread as well.
DeleteThe quilt and quilting are so beautiful!!
