How to machine a quilt and what do I need
l am making a quilt. l am hoping to make a quilted playmat for DD measuring
1.5 x 2m. Can l do this width on my home machine? This is what l
have: Michael Miller fabric for facing side, Fleece for reverse, a walking
foot for my Janome 423s. What else do l need and where to buy?
(l am in the UK).
Fleece is a knit and your face fabric is a woven. you may run
into issues with this --- if so, consider using the bartack or a similar
stitch to ''tie'' the quilt every so often, rather than actually quilting
it.
Good site for beginning quilting:

With the equipment you have you could even do a King size quilt
on your Janome!!
I would use quilting thread on both the bobbin and threading. They are
slicker than regular sewing threads.
I made nap mats for my grandsons and quilted their names into the middle of the mats. This was for their nursery school. I just spread the fabric out on the floor and using chalk wrote their names very very large over the face of the mats then stitched them. Enjoy!!
