Ignorance on my part
I am trying to quilt on my Little Gracie setup. Seems pretty easy except I realized this morning I have been putting the quilt on wrong. I downloaded some new info and it is much easier to understand.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? If not, well then you have just read a first!

Getting the leaders on right is the hardest part. I do a partial float which is easier. Amie

Re: Ignorance on my part
You are not the first nor the last!! I always forget how to load my quilt on my frame - Kyna laughed so hard at me that she took the instructions and put them in a picture frame and hung it on the wall where the frame is - so I can remember!! Still get it wrong - even with the pics!

Re: Ignorance on my part
I have had a quilt frame set up in my studio for the past three years and have finally decided to make the leap and try to finish off many of my quilts. It is an experience but I am learning. I have many, many unfinished tops that I do not want to send out but want to finish myself. I am new to this site and look forward to learning more about developing this skill.

I have to look at the instructions on how to load the HQ-16. I just don't get to quilt often enough to remember how.

Re: Ignorance on my part
when I bought my system from MaryZ she had "cheat sheet" printed up that she taped to her wall and now I have it taped to mine. We (my husband used the system too) use it all the time and now, 20 quilts later, we still have to refer to the cheat sheet

Re: Ignorance on my part
It takes me longer to load it than to quilt it, no matter what the size. Lie Amie I do a partial float, but I load it wrong almost every time even with a cheat sheet!
