One of the last times my sister was over using the quilting machine, she showed me how to trim an E2E design across the bottom of the quilt. This is in the Mach 3 software we use to run the machine. It’s been at least 6 weeks and I’m not sure I grasped what she did. But apparently it was enough. I was able to “cut” the center motif in half — both vertically and horizontally to fill in the spaces along the edge of the quilt. Then I cut the block into quarters for the corners. While I was thinking about it, I resized the block to 9 1/2″ and saved all the pieces so I won’t have to do it again when I load the wedding quilt.
I still need to do the continuous curve on the broken dish units and finish the wedding quilt backing, but then I’ll be ready to load the quilt.
