After seeing Carolyn's new method using you're mbroiderymachine to quilt, I showed her my table mat I made many years ago using an old method of machine quilting. This was shortly after I purchased a chep embroidery/sewing machine and only had a 4x4 hoop. I made traced a continuous line quilt design onto tissue paper and pinned it to my quilt "sandwich" and then lowered my feed dogs on the machine and followed the lines. Then had to tear carefully tear away the tissue paper and then do the binding. Made these for all three of my living room tables so when little ones came and wanted to run their little cars over the table tops, they would not scratchmy tables. Works very well and looks nice too!
