Leftover Muslin
#52
Waste? didn't know that word existed in the quilting world except with "do not" in front of it. :) Great ideas on using up muslin. I had to purchase about 4 bolts for tablecloths for my daughters wedding. This has given me some more ways to use it. Yaaay!

Use them for backing a piece of stitchery or Redwork. I've been doing alot of Redwork or Stitchery. After I have traced my pattern on a piece of muslin or tone on tone fabric, I cut a piece on muslin the same size as the traced piece to use as a foundation and baste them together. Then do my stitching. It will hide the thread tails and trails on the underside as well as prevent puckering from your stitching. I back all my stitcheries this way

:thumbup: :wink: Yeah use them for backings on strip quilts for blocks.. I have made many quilts with muslin as my backing, then add backing or batting to them.. to make quilts much warmer.. :thumbup: :thumbup: ;) :wink:
