I purchased a new pantograph for this quilt, but I didn't like the way it stitched out, so sat for two days with the seam ripper taking it out again. It was so dense you couldn't tell one vehicle from another. It probably would have been fine if I had made it larger but the bed of my machine only allows for so much depth. I went 10" and it wasn't enough.
So this is it......all done with a favourite pantograph
the front
Anne's truck panto
the back
and now the trucks are empty and heading home
Is it time to recover your ironing board? I got this tip from Deborah at the Village Square Quilt shop and the farmer graciously redid my board. It is now covered in flannel! No more silver coloured stuff on my board.
This is fabulous and I wish I had know about years ago. You get the crispest seams I have ever had. When I removed the stitching from the quilt, I spritzed the back of the quilt with Mary Ellen's Best Press and then water. I left it to soak in and then pressed with steam. Not one stitch hole can be seen.
