But what I noticed ...Good plan, that should work. <br /><br />But what I noticed is your chair! I have a set of four of that exact cane bottom chair!! They are languishing in my basement, as I have nowhere for them to be. They are too delicate for daily use and rather a lot of modern American humans are too large for them. But they were grandma's, so it's hard to let them go.

Had a similar experience several years ago when quilting a friend's strip quilt on my mid-arm only the problem wasn't discovered until the first half was quilted. Took quilt off the frame; friend & I took apart the lower left 1/4 of the top -- first 3 columns were 1" - 2" inches too long! Lesson learned --- check quilt tops before starting to quilt!RenaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17694133583572175527noreply@blogger.com
