triangles, dratted things
Martha wrote:
I am piecing my first quilt that uses triangles to make squares, and already I am thinking how much better mannered squares are! How do I get the triangles not to stretch, move in seam allowance, or otherwise fuss at me when I try to sew them into squares? Would a walking foot help, do you think? The triangles are cut so that the long edge is bias, which is the problem of course. The bias edges will be inside the block when I'm done [Friendship Star]. Members of this group have always been so helpful! TIA! Martha The first proper quilt I ever made was Friendship stars! Yes, the walking foot may help. I must say I don't remember having a problem with them, but I had just completed a '70's style evening gown with a bias cut top and a circular skirt in floppy poly satin, so anything cotton was going to be easy after that stuff! -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |
