from Christain Manion of Villa Ridge, MO
After finishing piecing a quilt top, I sew around the edge of the quilt, 1/8 inch from the edge, using a large stitch. This prevents the quilt top from stretching out of shape as well as prevents the fabric from raveling. |
from Mary Krysiak of Fairview, PA
I found using a cuticle stick with a pointed tip works as a stiletto and the flat surface at the other end acts as finger press. Also works well using the pointed tip to hold down small pieces while using a mini iron. Great for miniature quilts or small projects. |
from Christi Scheffel of Shelby, NC
An inexpensive glue stick is a quilter's best friend. It will hold your binding in place, especially as you go around curves no more pins, a zipper in place, appliqué won't move. I am constantly finding new uses -- and the best part is it just washes away later on. Works great on piping too! |
