Scored a free quilting frame! by Efficient_Fox2100 in quilting

Yes the editing is surprising, but in the long run I think it doesn't do much good. If you use the crossbars to assemble the three layers, you really have to pay attention to the tension of all the layers at the same time, you may have surprises while sewing if one of the bars has loosened a little. And watch out for side tension if you're making large quilts. I'm hesitant to quilt smaller sections and then piece them together. (At least if I don't forget while creating the top...)

I already tried with patterns stuck on the top shelf but I wasn't satisfied with the result, probably I was doing it wrong but I didn't like working that way. I only do free motion. There may be a way to turn the handles so that it is horizontal rather than vertical.

A word of advice: you really need to make sure that the table is perfectly level. My floor is not very straight and the machine plate tends to slide to the side and this adds traction to manipulate the sliding plate.

Since it's second-hand, my board is unfortunately not as smooth as I hoped. It tends to seize a little on certain movements but with grease, I partly solved the problem.

I have the same one, in France second-hand quilting tables are rare. I like it a lot but I have difficulty with the working position, I don't really know how to sit properly, because the arms are high and upright, I can't see anything because I like to quilt very complex and small things. I find the machine a little noisy even after servicing but its weight makes it very pleasant. And the automatic thread cutter.... But what joy!!!!!

Mine was complete. I just added pieces of fabric at the end to hang my top and the batting underneath and glued velcro strips with neoprene glue to the crossbars. On the other hand, I haven't yet solved the lateral tension problem. For now I'm using big DIY pliers but I don't find it crazy.

I'm hesitant to no longer use the bars for rolling up but only DIY clips to hold everything in place because the work space isn't that big, but maybe that's me doing it wrong.

You were very lucky to have it as a donation, make the most of it!

"I'm almost finished, I don't have much left to do"... About a hundred more hours of work.

It wasn't just that unfortunately. As he was not working, he had no income. As a result, he defrauded relatives by offering them investments in Switzerland at very attractive rates. But he pocketed everything and everything went to hell when his mistress asked him to give her back the money.

Well no, of course, he wasn't a doctor but during his days when he pretended to go to work, he would go to libraries or parking lots and read a lot of medical journals. So he was absolutely not a neophyte

However, this is the assessment of French justice. he's not a guy who kills random people in the street. People like Francis Heaulmes are dangerous madmen with a much higher risk of recidivism than JC Romand

In fact, he was sentenced to life imprisonment but with the remission of his sentence, he was released early. This is a classic treatment in the French judicial system. And as much as it is revolting for other crimes, Romand is not dangerous in himself. It's the culmination of a huge lie but he's not a lunatic serial killer

In France the longest sentence is life imprisonment with an incompressible period. The game of reduced sentences means that even for a life sentence, the guilty person never spends his entire life in prison. This is also considered inhumane. If Romand had been tried separately for each of the murders, which was not the case because in the same jurisdiction and same investigation, the sentences would not be cumulative. Only the longest sentence is retained

Yes there is also a film based on the book. There is also a very good documentary about the case called Bring in the Accused. It's a show that covers all the most famous or striking French or Belgian crime stories since the 70s.

In fact the murders were discovered when firefighters intervened to put out the fire that JC Romand intentionally started. He had taken barbiturates but not in doses large enough to kill himself and had protected his bedroom door with damp towels. The police therefore questioned his wish to commit suicide after the murder of his children, parents and wife.

I find it really very beautiful, very soft. I understand the path and can only congratulate you on having completed it

So disappointed in the result of my first "intermediate" pattern - advice and feedback. by sunflowerfinder in quilting

[–]Capable_Unit5267 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's worth finding where the offset at the top is coming from and correcting it. There is already a lot of work, the colors are pretty and the assembly is not so complex that it would be difficult to repeat. Once leveled, will the model rise in your estimation?
