November 21, 2003, Newsletter Issue #40: LifeTips Quilting Tips -- November 25, 2003
Tip of the Week
TIP #1: Fabric Sizing
Be sure to cut a generous piece of fabric to cover each section of the foundation. The recommended small stitch length makes for some very difficult seam ripping.
TIP #2: Press Often
Take the time to press each seam to the right side as soon as it is sewn. This simple procedure will make block assembly a much smoother and more accurate process. Do not "iron" as you would an item of clothing. "Press" by placing and lifting the iron straight up and down without distorting the small pieces of fabric.
TIP #3: Needle Size
Use a large needle in your machine when stitching on paper foundation lines. The larger holes will make removing the paper easier.
