One question??? WHEN DO YOU SLEEP!!! That beautiful quilt top was on PAPER yesterday... Wanna give us a lesson on SPEED cutting?? lol! Serioulsy -turned out lovely!
|
thanks. :-)
as i starch the fabrics, i layer them in sewing order, right sides together. the number of layers depends on how many pieces i need to cut from different combinations of fabrics. i'm usually cutting through at least four layers. i limit myself to no more than 8 layers. even with a 60mm cutter, it gets too hard to cut precisely through a pile any higher than that. if i'm using shop-weight fabrics, 6 is a more sensible limit. by layering to cut, the pieces i sew together are already matched in size and ready to run through the machine. when i'm really lucky, they "stick" together so i don't even need to line them up before they go under the foot. |
you have your organization techniques down to a science, Patrice! I usually think of myself as in a minority of ppl that love red, but so many on here said they did. Of course, I do love some of everything. You should see my closet. I line my clothes up, depending on color of tops, pants underneath, so when you look in, all color coordinated.
hubby thinks my habits are...not sure. He teases me a lot, but he knows it works for me. I rotate laundry when I put it away. i tell him, my funny ways are the reason he walks around longer without holes in his socks and undies, the sheets and towels, etc. last longer.......for me quilting spills into all areas of life. yeah, quilt, nap, quilt some more....ahhhh, the good life! :wink: |
