In my quest to make Quilts of Valor without using a
volunteer long armer (because there are so few among the many piecers), I did research
on the “quilt as you go” method. I decided to try it and practice on a wall
hanging size quilt before tackling a full size QOV.
Pleased with the way the
wall hanging is turning out,
I went back to the QOVF website, to double check
the minimum/maximum QOV size requirements. While there, I noticed a “Do Not”
requirement under “Quilting” …
Do Not
1.
Tie.
2. Do
only stitch in the ditch on a domestic machine or use giant meander.
3. Do
not use high-loft batting.
I get #1 and #3 … but need to understand why #2 is listed as
a “Do Not”.
I really need to know. I need to know why it’s
not acceptable.
