We have officially started the countdown to one of our Favorite Quilt Shows . Quilt festival in Houston TX Nov. 1^st -4^th open daily 10am- 7pm and the last day 10am – 4pm.  One of the many reasons this is one of our favorite shows is the Amazing Quilts that are on display. I always come away from Festival with a newfound ,reenergized  creative view for my quilting projects. If you have been one of the many thousands that have attended festival then you know exactly what I am referring to. It is a sea of beautiful fabrics, quilts, and every quilting item to enhance your day to day quilting you can think of and then some. I hope to see many familiar faces and meet new friends this year. Stop by our booth 1500 to see our ESP quilters, along with our newest member to the TinLizzie18 Quilting Line the all new RAM the most affordable quilting longarm with the highest quality. We look forward to showing you why so many quilters choose TinLizzie18.

In simple terms, there are too many variables that are required to get the calculation of how many wraps it takes to fill the bobbin.  There are several different threads that are available for long arm machines.  There is Bottom Line, So Fine, Specialty, Nylon, Metallic, 100 percent Cotton, Poly Wrapped Poly, Poly Wrapped Cotton, the list goes on and on.  These threads vary in different thicknesses and weights, such as 25, 30, 40 and so on.  There is no way of measuring how many yards of that thread is wound onto the bobbin in order to enter that yardage into the system in order to keep track of the amount that has been expended off the bobbin during the quilting period.  For example, a thin thread will wrap more yardage compared to a thick thread on the bobbin.  Tension also adds a factor, a loose wound bobbin compared to a tighter wound bobbin will change the yardage.
