What is scale? That's the distance between your lines of quilting. I quilt on a small scale in home sewing machine tutorials so you can see the steps of
the design clearly and see what multiple repetitions will look like.
Small scale quilting is great for accents within quilt blocks, show quilting, and small projects like table runners and wall hangings that can be quilted densely.
On a longarm quilting machine, it's a lot easier to quilt big because the machine is on wheels and so much easier to move. Even if you don't have a longarm on a frame, watch these segments to see how to use the design to fill specific spaces in
your quilts. Large scale quilting is great for bed quilts and throws because the quilt finishes soft and cuddly.
