How to use...
- First step is to find a nice cozy chair and brew up a hot pot of coffee or tea.
- Next step is to lay out your backing in the floor with right side down.
- Place your batting on top of the backing.
- Now put your top on facing up.
- Pin with quilter's safety pins or regular safety pins.
- Loosen the wing nut on the outer hoop and remove the hoop. Put the outer hoop to the side for a moment. Place the laptop hoop frame underneath the backing in the center of the quilt. Slide the outer hoop over the top of the quilt. Grasp all the quilt layers and gently pull it downward until the backing is smooth with no bubbles or wrinkles in the fabric. Tighten the wing nut until the quilt is taut, like the top to a drum.
- Now go find that chair and warm beverage. Start quilting, work outwards from the center. Adjust the hoop as needed.
