December 19, 2003, Newsletter Issue #42: LifeTips Quilting Tips -- December 23 2003

Tip of the Week

Tip #1: Watch Those Reds!

The dyes used to create red fabrics are notorious for running when washed. Take extra care to prewash these fabrics separately until no more red shows in the rinse water.

Tip #2: Scrappy Quilt Tip

If you are having trouble with fabric placement in a scrap quilt, try placing your cut pieces into a brown paper bag. Pull out the pieces from the bag without peeking and use whatever comes up next. You may come up with some odd combinations, but they should look great when the quilt is completed.
