Ernest B Haight

And I thought *I* was the only one who knew about Ernest Haight! LOL

Long, long ago, far away, I thought it should be possible to make quilts with the sewing machine instead of all by hand. I snapped up the very first edition of Robbie and Tony Fanning's book "The Complete Guide to Machine Quilting" and there I learned about Mr Haight. It is the only way I would ever do grid quilting -- and if you are doing a simple block quilt you can do the whole thing without marking anything , just by lining up on some repeated block component to keep the lines straight. Fastest Irish Chains ever and the perfect use for that quilting guide that comes with every sewing machine!
