to know i'm a quilter even if i don't long-arm
|
One thing I have learned is that the most important thing about quilting is to enjoy the process and practice, practice, practice!
|
Learning how to baste quilts with Elmer's. Glue sticks are good for piecing when needed.
|
I have learned so many things since I found the QB, and that there is more than one way to do anything with quilting. Quilters really are some of the nicest, most caring and giving people in the world. I'm not sure what I would do if I couldn't quilt as I've tried dozens of other crafts, but I always come back to quilting. It's a great lifetime hobby as well as a way to work through problems, quilting or otherwise.

I have learned that this board is very addictive and I have to check in with all you quilter friends before I start my day!
Things I have learned: that using Washable Elmer's glue is fantastic, learned how to finally make that darn quilter's knot, if it pleases me then it is okay, that there are more quilts that I want to do than I have time to do, that I have friend's available to help me, that with U-tube tutorials and this board I am not afraid to try any pattern, that quilt police are not welcome and the latest is the use of a cookie sheet or rolling pin when sandwiching a quilt with glue. |

I had 4 quilts planned. Figured I'd make them then go on to another hobby.

Because I've been using a rolling pin for a number of years (more than I want to admit to), I would suggest putting a sheet of wax paper between the rolling pin and the quilt sandwich -- reason, even though I wash my rolling pin, I don't immerse it in hot sudsy water. Your rolling pin could have "grease" or "oil", etc. -- You don't want to transfer this to your quilt! I thing I would consider buying a "new" separate rolling pin for using on quilts! LOL Just a thought! "Grease Spots" can be the very devil to get out!

I am hoping to come back to Poland after our visit to the states with some of that completely washable (washes out) school glue.

I did a quick search on this site and came up with nothing...just what is the cooking tray method of smoothing out the backing?
