Lorchen OFFLINE Posts: 2639 Thank you received: 50	Apologies to Ritzy! After a day at work, then babysitting my gorgeous granddaughter, then working on those wedding favours, my eyes must have been half-closed. By the way, I love those little crumb catchers. They can really lift a quilt or 'contain' a busy pieced centre.

Lorchen OFFLINE Posts: 2639 Thank you received: 50	I had a quilt longarmed that had some of these folded flying geese on it. I hand-stitched them down with fairly big stitches in a contrasting colour before I handed it over. The longarmer look at it, smiled, and said: "You can bring me quilts any time!" I just removed the tacking threads when I got the quilt back. Took a little extra time but was well worse it.

And prairie points and any other dimensional embellishments should not be added until after the quilting is done! Unless you are doing your own long arming and then you know exactly who to blame and find out what to avoid in future

Thanks Margo, I just watched the whole show again! So what is it called? Is it a flange, a folded border (that's what I thought it was called) a crumb catcher? Is there an official name for it?

D. All of the above!

Although a lot of long-armers that I know call them something different when quilts come in with them! It's really difficult to quilt over, under or across them without some areas folding the wrong way!

Good to know that they are not so popular with the long-armers. (Note to self: avoid an effin' flange in a quilt if it's going to be quilted on a long-arm.)

Or put one on on the outer edge with the binding when it comes back from the long-armer?
