Lite fusible
|
Before you cut, I would practice first. If you look up directions for how to use neckties, that might help. The silk ties are fine and slippery also. You'll definitely need interfacing. Also look up bandana quilts. Pintrest might show you how to just sew them together in squares and not try to cut them. I would think raveling would be a big problem.

Starch will be your friend...it will give some body to the thinner, slick fabrics. I like to spray then iron multiple times instead of just 1 coat. I also like glue basting any points that need to line up.

Lightweight fusible stabilizer- recommended for rayons- is really going to help. Fuse the stabilizer on Before cutting any of your rayons. You need one for rayons because one for cottons will need too much heat and might melt your rayon.

I'd not thought of any of these suggestions. I learned something new, the Terial Magic, I'm excited to try this. The Pickle Dish pattern I choose is the 'blade' version, not the triangle version. Thank y'all so much for helping!!!

I think that is an ambitious project. Post us a pic when finished.

Definitely use stabilizer on the silky fabrics! That should "equalize" the fabrics some. I would make sure it is a lite weight one. Good luck!

Are these to be quilts to use or quilts to just look at?

They would make an awesome crazy quilt and it would be much more forgiving than other patterns. |
