This May be the Solution You Need to Move a Quilt Smoothly Through Your Machine!
Do you find yourself struggling to move a quilt through your machine while free motion quilting? Try changing your hand positions.
While conventional wisdom says to move the quilt by pushing it around with both hands on top, having one hand underneath can make a big difference.
Geta Grama found that this makes all the difference for her, and it may for you too. It works so well that she doesn’t even need to wear gloves.
Her technique involves folding the quilt a certain way so she can hold the fold with one hand from underneath.

Geta has written clear instructions and created several videos that explain her method.
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources.
