You'll need to check your sewing machine's manual to see if you can. If you are using a high loft (thick) batting, you may need/want to raise the height of the presser foot, if your sewing machine will allow it. Polyester Quilt BattingPolyester fibers are more 'slippery' than cotton fibers, so a polyester batting is going to take more safety pins to hold everything in place. I think the bunching of the top and batting is coming from two things: 1) the polyester batting, itself, and 2) the amount of basting.

Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions. I'm hoping after I remove most of the meander stitching that I will be able to ease the extra in.

I started at the center top and stitched to the right towards the inner border (which I had already stitched in the ditch with a walking foot).Īfter meandering approximately one-fourth of the quilt, I saw that the top and polyester batting (higher loft) have shifted to the right and I now have an excess of approx. You could do this as a beginner, even, if you just take your time and follow her instructions.I'm ripping out meander stitching on my first quilt (twin size). It is SO much fun to make and it seems like no matter what fabrics you use, you get the most beautiful result. I think this has to be one of my favorite quilt tops I've ever made! Melanie writes instructions that are clear, easy to understand, and easy to follow! This quilt flies together. I haven't started yet, but it's next on my list.

It is great fun, and the pattern is easy to understand. I am taking my time with this quilt, pulling in scraps to supplement my fabric stash. It's coming out as beautiful as my first quilt did! If you buy ONE pattern from Melanie, this is the one I'd get! I've made the baby quilt on my new Bernina, and realized this quilt is a real skill builder because there are so many different techniques in it. This pattern is SO forgiving and SO well written! I just recently went back to it and made a baby quilt with it. My quilt came out absolutely gorgeous! If you follow the instructions, even a beginner could make this quilt if they went slowly. When I came back, I knew I had to make this quilt just for the name. I have quilted for over 40 years but took a break. This quilt was one of my first experiments with Southern Charm patterns.
