 I shared this with you yesterday. I still remember the first time this happened to me and the level of panic that ensued. Fortunately, at the time, I was a member of an online quilting board and someone walked me through the basic steps to fix a short backing....without having to remove the quilt from teh machine.  When it happened again earlier this week I decided to document the process and put together a tutorial so that anyone can find it whenever it's needed.
You can find the tutorial here. I'm now done with veterans quilts for a while so I'm going to load a quilt of my own and work on some new postcards this weekend. What are your plans?

I don't do longarm quilting - but this is still interesting to me. I love the creative solution.

I had this happen to me one time. I did not have blue flannel on hand to add to the backing. Panic. Call quilter, etc. Never again have I loaded a backing w/o checking the size first. But. thanks to you, I needn't panic.

Although I don't have a longarm, I wanted to compliment you for being so generous to write up a tutorial about a problem I'm sure many will run into. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on a wide variety of topics, Vicki!

Not much fun when the backing is short, is it? I should check but sometimes they slip through. Comments are closed.
