I got my vest - I don't see two linings, how do I get the quilted off and only use the thinner lining for summer?

It's not two separate linings. The outside is one texture and the inside is quilted and it's all one piece and is nicely made.

I could not find a solid Beige. What the replacement is, a light gray color, the company doesn't even carry the original. The one that I did find was the right fit wrong color. We made one, if you have the old one lay it out, buy new canvas and trace it. A nice sewing place will help with what you need. It was pretty simple and not too expensive.

Sorry, can't help you with that. It would be nice if it came with one. I made my own out of a heavy appolstry material and added a drawstring edge (I can sew and it is not too hard to make your own pattern if you want a DIY project).

I usually slide mine off to the side to remove them. Try putting strips of fabric under each clamp. They'll help with removing clamps, and they'll improve the clamp's grip on the fabric when you pull it taut. Tutorial: http://curiosities808.wordpress.com/2008/06/20/embroidery-tools-qsnaps-tutorial/

You need to use a quilt hanger sleeve along the back top edge of the quilt. You leave a small section open (finished) in the middle of the sleeve. You can sew the top edge(s) of the sleeve into the top seam of the quilt along with the binding and then handsew the other edges, or just handsew all the way around. Or - You can buy a sleeve ready to use from the same company. It's a brilliant design for supporting the quilt and displaying it with no other leveling needed. Here's a good website that even has a video explaining this. http://www.hangitdangit.com/instructions.asp These are the best quilt hangers I've ever used!

You might need someone else to help with this. While you have it on have someone push one of the shoulder straps in towards the front of the vest. Once it is at the desired height close the velcro on that strap. Repeat for the other strap. Make sure you have the Velcro on the shoulders open before you push the straps in.

Check the finish on the sheeve for any burrs. File them off and then emory cloth it smooth. Otherwise it has been great. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi! You can put a quilt of any size on this frame. After you make your quilt "sandwich" (top, batting, and back), baste it or pin it together, then simply drape it over the quilt frame and put on the clamp pieces. I usually start my stitching near the center of the quilt. Quilt the area inside the frame, then pop off the pieces that hold the quilt in place and shift it to a new area. Turn the quilt around as necessary to keep it from piling up in your lap. I love this frame. It comes apart in minutes and you can store it in the box. I went to Lowe's and had them cut me a piece of Masonite (lightweight board used in construction) 3' x 5' and I lay that on top of the quilt frame when it's empty so I can sort quilt block pieces. Then I store that board under my mattress until I need it again. I have a wooden quilt frame, but I don't think I'll ever use it again because this plastic one is so easy and quick (and takes up less floor space) to use. Happy Quilting!!!

For me, one side (the one with the tail) had a lot of wrinkles but the other side didn't have any, so I just used the side with no wrinkles. If they both have bad wrinkles, I suppose you could slide an ironing board underneath the chromakey (without standing the board up), and iron it the same way you'd iron clothes.

On the colder night I occassionally use another blanket. I would consider this fairly thin, probably closer to your summer quilt, not a heavy winter quilt

My recollection is that I only had two small rods that connected to form a single rod as you did. It slid in a sleeve near the zipper to give it shape. Not sure it matters but I put it in and have covered and stored my heater for the summer

Sorry, velvet is very touchy, there are kits that allow you to dry clean...myself I have a drycleaner to do it. My quilts have buttons ribbon and such on them I won't mach wash them either. There are shorter cropped vest suedes that are polyester and can be washed. Hope this helps you.

Another possibility is to have a local seamstress make you a replacement. I had to do that with the cuffs on a jacket of mine.

You need to hold the stitch on the back side. Depending on the seam length you need to hold some excess to weave thru the stitches

I haven't used it yet- but I believe it is the kind where you sew it on flat, and then use the 3 legged or pronged drapery hooks to form the pleat where you want it. Each leg pulls in the material and forms the pleat. The tape has holes in the channel for the legs of the drapery hook. These gather the pleat.

I've seen extra covers advertised but can't recall who it was. Sorry. If someone likes to sew, they could buy material, cut out a trace pattern and make one.

It's just theback side of the front pattern. The quilt is beautiful and has no backing making it light and cool for summer nights!
