    Thank you for your video very helpful. How large is your throat on your machine. It appears pretty big. My new one is 13 in so wondering if the quilting space will be about the same. I guess after much practice moving it will get to be pretty quick.

    Do you such beautiful work. Thank you for showing your process. Can I ask you a question? How do you keep your tumblers round at top consistently ? I would think that even though you use an egg to round it clay has memory and would tend to warp to a somewhat elliptical shape after glaze firing. Thank you.

  • @CharanSachar
    @CharanSachar4 ай бұрын

    Good question. The egg or any rounded form helps and I use it every time I touch the mug in any step. First while forming, then when attaching the bottom l, then when adding buttons, and when adding the handle. That forces to clay memory to stay in the round again and again. They are not perfect to round still, but if I wanted it perfectly round I would just throw on the wheel. Hope that explains it

  • @doraelizondo4177
    @doraelizondo41774 ай бұрын

    WOW! That was the quickest response ever. Thank you! It makes sense that you keep reinforcing the clay memory. I do realize that the tumbler will never be perfectly round but as a wanna be hand builder my attempts have always yielded a pointier side where the clay attaches. I appreciate your generosity in sharing your knowledge. Thank you again.

    According to Grace website “The frame's top plate can accommodate any home machine that's less than 11-1/2" thick and is adjustable to fit sewing machines with up to 19" of throat space.” Since you have the Cutie frame, you can check if it fits on the top plate and that you have clearance. The height where the quilt sits and depth is adjustable on the frame to accolade different machines. So give it a try

    This particular quilt was basted with a micro tagging gun. The quilting went fine but I found it very hard to remove the tags later. Some got embedded in the quilt batting. Do you have a better way of removing them? Now I have started thread basting and I do it in rows 6-7 inch apart which also help in aligning the quilt on the frame and get reference for boundaries. I use a chalk for boundaries occasionally too

    These mugs are handbuitl from slabs and clay has memory to go back to its original shape. So every time I handle the mugs I use the cup to round it and remind the mug that it needs to be round. When pottery is thrown on the wheel it gets that round memory built into it so not needed in wheel thrown pottery.

  • @CharanSachar

    I start from the center of the quilt with half the quilt rolled into the neck and attached to the frame. As I continue quilting, I roll out the quilt from the neck. That way even if it is a big quilt I can make a tight roll in the beginning and after that it just unrolls and gets smaller in the neck. After I am done with that half, I repeat by flipping the quilt. Hope that makes sense
