today's challenge

Howdy!

You can do it, Karen!

So, which method did you use?

I've done this (by hand & machine):

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!

Today's challenge is piecing batting. I've never done very much of it
before, but - here goes.

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. : )

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

I use the multi step zz too. I also cut them together but you have to watch
for stretching or you lose that line easily. 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.

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.
