I just received a newsletter from my local sewing machine store. They talked about the new Pfaff Power Quilter P3 long arm, but no where does it state the throat size. I looked on the Pfaff website as well, and it doesn't state it either. Does anyone know what it might be?

[quote user="Jeanine"] No matter what way you load it, you will have a more difficult time centering one way. [/quote] That's kind of what I figured. But even if you load it vertically, it still probably wouldn't be centered, because the excess of my backing usually ends up at the bottom, since I usually start about 2 inches from the

I've been happy with the pantographs from www.urbanelementz.com. They're having a sale now and the nice thing is, they have sizes for all machine sizes.

I have a question about aligning the backing on a frame. Let's say you have a panel design and you've added borders around it to make it large enough for the backing.

I noticed it had a blade on the

Well, I've posted a few messages before actually introducing myself. I've been sewing almost all my life. Made all my clothes in high school and then shirts for my husband and father. Don't do clothes anymore except for a few for my granddaughter. I have to say I don't really like the fashion trends for the last 10-15 years, so no desire

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have to leave a longer chain between pieces and also use a shorter stitch to see if that helps. I don't handle them much, just stitch pieces together, iron, and put in pile until I'm ready for the next step.
