Have you ever been quilting a quilt only to have it fall off the back of your table? Suddenly your stitches get extra big as the weight of the quilt quickly pulls the quilt away from you. Perhaps it moves so fast that you break a needle. I hope as the quilt pulls away you don't get your finger caught under the needle trying to catch it (sorry for that image but that happened to a friend and I wouldn't want it to happen to you).
I have tried many things to stop this from happening whether I am quilting a quilt, or attaching binding to a quilt, but nothing has been totally successful. So what is the game changer? Christa's Quilt Blocks by Arrow Sewing. When I saw these I knew I had to have them and boy am I happy with them!
Arrow describes them as follows: Keep your projects from falling overboard with Christa's Quilt Blocks! Designed by award-winning quilter, Christa Watson, Christa's Quilt Blocks were created to act as a guard rail that keeps quilts and large projects from sliding off the side or back of your sewing cabinet!

There are four finishes to match whatever sewing table you may have: Ash White, Part: QB111, Grey QB107, Teak QB105 and White QB101.
The Christa Sewing Cabinet looks amazing. If I didn't already have a cabinet I would have looked at the whole set up. Lucky for me, though, one can purchase just the quilt blocks and attach them to your existing table.

I quilted a twin quilt with Dual/ Even Feed/ AcuFeed quilting and applied machine stitched binding to it without any worry of it falling off the back of the table. The job went quickly as I wasn't constantly checking to make sure my quilt was behaving.
The Christa Sewing Cabinet and Christa's Quilt Blocks are available on ArrowSewing.CA and through your local Janome Canada dealer.
Quilt on! Melissa
