butting batting today's challenge
Howdy!
You can do it, Karen! So, which method did you use? I've done this (by hand & machine): http://blog.maryquilts.com/2009/12/1...ng-by-machine/ http://www.ehow.com/how_2135470_piec...ger-piece.html http://www.sewinspiredblog.com/2007/...with-bonus.htm l The tip about leaving the hand stitches just a little slack is good; helps the pieces relax in the quilt. I don't over lap so there's no bump there, esp. in handquilting. Good luck! Do tell! R/Sandy On 5/23/11 10:19 AM, in article , "Karen Tucker" wrote: Today's challenge is piecing batting.

butting batting today's challenge
I trimmed the rectangles and squares to square up the corners and
straighten the edges, then fit them together on the design wall over the backing. Then laying them side by side I zig-zagged each one into it's proper place. The quilt is quilted and waiting for a binding. : ) Karen, Queen of Squishies |

today's challenge
I take a washable marker and mark "matchup" lines every 6-10 inches.

I saw the fusible stuff and I wondered too if the knit interfacing is the same and would do the job as well? I think poly would just melt but cotton would be good. Taria "Roberta"Roberta@Home wrote in message ... I do the same, but with a 3-stitch zigzag. and if you want a really smooth join, sometimes it's worth laying the 2 pieces next to each other on your cutting table, edges overlapping just a bit. then cut through the overlap. Makes the "bumps" match up. Roberta in D -- ----------- This message has been scanned for viruses by Norton Anti-Virus http://webpages.charter.net/jaccola/default.html ----------- |
