Hi,
I would like to know if anybody has done this, if it can be done and how. I have quilted a quilt on the HQ16. I like the inside but I do not like the borders. I was thinking of taking out the stitches in he border and putting the quilt back on the frame. Can I do this? If so how? The center was done freehand and I was thinking of doing the borders with the Pro Stitcher. Can this be done. How do I put the quilt back on the leaders straight? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yes, you can put a quilt back on the frame and quilt the borders. You would attach the leader to the bottom roller and the take up roller. Attach the leader to the bottom roller and roll it up. Then put your leader under the idler bar and make sure it is straight as you put it on. You can then roll back and forth between the two bars.

Good luck,
