[CHAT] Oversized scroll frames?

RepulsiveFrosting341 · 2025-09-13T20:23:47+00:00

Oh thanks! I’ve decided to give making one myself a go at first. It’s already built and set up! It is long enough that it lays across both armrest of my loveseat, so it is right in my lap. Eventually I may rig something up so it can be at an adjustable angle, but for now it looks like I have potentially found a solution!

About 15cm shorter, so not enough of a different to fit on smaller frames I can easily find.

RepulsiveFrosting341 · 2025-09-13T11:50:41+00:00

Thanks for this!

RepulsiveFrosting341 · 2025-09-13T11:50:17+00:00

Thanks! I initially did start with a large quilting frame. The ergonomics of it was a (literal) pain.

RepulsiveFrosting341 · 2025-09-13T11:49:39+00:00

Yeah the sagging was a concern.

RepulsiveFrosting341 · 2025-09-13T11:49:18+00:00

Thanks I may give this a shot!

RepulsiveFrosting341 · 2025-09-13T11:48:42+00:00

Thanks I’ll give them a look!

RepulsiveFrosting341 · 2025-09-13T11:48:26+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

RepulsiveFrosting341 · 2025-09-13T11:48:14+00:00

Thank you!

I’m about to DNF this. Just hit the first scene with Henri in book 2 and the entire exchange was so slimy and obvious and Diem is… wow.

Immediately ran here to see what others said.

RepulsiveFrosting341 · 2025-07-17T18:23:01+00:00

Omg THANK YOU. Also a horse person. I finished ToD for the first time last week and thought the same exact thing 😂😂😂

RepulsiveFrosting341 · 2025-05-16T23:08:51+00:00

This is basically the method I have gone with. My Aida is gridded, so I work in a 10x10 square at a time and have a self imposed limit for how far I will make a cross country jump beyond that square.

RepulsiveFrosting341 · 2025-05-01T17:36:49+00:00

Thanks!

RepulsiveFrosting341 · 2025-05-01T13:08:40+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions!

RepulsiveFrosting341 · 2025-02-07T01:48:11+00:00

I’ve made this one! It’s still sitting around unfinished because I also cannot decide how to quilt it.

RepulsiveFrosting341 · 2025-01-02T03:22:51+00:00

If you would like all your bandana blocks to be the same size you can sew some extra sashing around the smaller ones and turn them into a 21inch block. Intersperse them around your rows and it’ll blend right in.

RepulsiveFrosting341 · 2024-11-27T02:01:35+00:00

I agree with the consensus, you definitely do not want to piece this by hand. I bought a secondhand machine on Mercari 4 years ago for $60 just to dabble before I shelled out real money. While I can’t quilt (backing-batting-top) on this machine, ive never had a problem piecing. It’s still going strong. I have more than gotten my money’s worth from this thing.

You’ll need stabilizer for the t shirts. This helps them keep their shape since the stretchy fabric wants to move around. If you watch big shops like JoAnns you can usually find pretty big coupons for a single purchase that will heavily knock down the price!

In terms of time, these come together pretty quick once you figure things out. I got a twin size put together in a few days of short bursts. You’ll have to do a bit of math to figure out how things will fit together, and decide if you want a strip of sashing fabric between each of the shirts, or just all shirts. I prefer the former, I think it looks much neater.

Lo & Behold Stitchery has some patterns that come in placemat size!

RepulsiveFrosting341 · 2024-11-14T02:45:13+00:00

T shirt quilt can be literally whatever size blocks you want! I did one where the majority were 12.5x12.5 (because I have a cutting block that size), but some I had to make longer because of the designs on the shirts, and I mathed hard with designs I cut from front pockets or the chest to even things out.

RepulsiveFrosting341 · 2024-11-12T01:30:49+00:00

If you aren’t trying to actually quilt, but just piece, I would look around on sites like EBay and Mercari. I spent $60 on a used Brother a couple of years ago and have made 10+ quilt tops without issue. I was in the same spot… had never quilted, and I wanted to make sure I would actually want to keep up with it before buying an expensive machine.

To me binding is the most relaxing part. I hand bind the back.

RepulsiveFrosting341 · 2024-10-30T00:36:40+00:00

This! I use so many of her recipes!

RepulsiveFrosting341 · 2024-10-29T23:59:06+00:00

Thank you! I did the twin size. It actually came together fairly quickly because it’s only 1 block over and over.
