LOL (Actually, sometimes it's a great idea to cut twice as many pieces of everything so you CAN make 2 quilts -- make one now and one later on when you want that graduation gift, no cutting time required because it's already done!)Marti Michellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08689194011999334968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611275165997891822.post-69786085836815377062015-10-06T00:17:22.332-04:002015-10-06T00:17:22.332-04:00Marti - THANKs for your (as always) great tute! A ...Marti - THANKs for your (as always) great tute! A couple of things I'd really like to see you elaborate on in the future. Like you, I'm a bit of an old timer in quilting, and would like to see you opine a bit on why it is stil better (in today's machine oriented quilting world) to press your seams to the side. I'm with you on this. I've seen many an old quilt, obviously made by a wayward dressmaker, who pressed her seams open.So sad to see those wisps of cotton batting creeping out of the now loose aging seam! And how do you really quilt "in the ditch" is you open the seam? You're really only stitching the stitching, rather than the fabric layers together! And there are more reasons too...Anyway... as always you are still a real "Silver Star" of my quilting world. GREAT videos! See ya next week!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11182124143893766166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611275165997891822.post-7807589104424325552015-10-05T17:40:31.743-04:002015-10-05T17:40:31.743-04:00I just finished cutting pieces for a pattern publi...I just finished cutting pieces for a pattern published by someone else and the directions called for WOF strips. Of course I was converting to FMM method of cutting LOF strips, and was using up fabric rapidly. I had a good laugh at myself after I realized that while I was cutting on the lengthwise grain, I was cutting two strips instead of one. Guess I'll have to make two quilts instead of one!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551216152857654276noreply@blogger.com
