Oh, my gosh, machine-sewing the label onto the hanging sleeve first is such a great idea. You are just a fountain of helpful tips, thanks!

Well duh....I never thought about scraps behind the label!!!! Thats a great idea! :D

What a great idea. I never would have thought of that. Thanks.

The "like a nut" I don't understand.
What do you mean??? I understand smooth - - -wrinkle free - pressed/ironed before layering, etc. |
LOL
i'm OCD so "like a nut" means i have to smooth out imaginary wrinkles for a really long time. i don't have a fixed number that some OCD people fixate on but i do have to go by a feeling. i can't stop until i reach this feeling of satisfaction. DH actually laughs at me when i'm doing this - its a bit obsessive. have you ever seen the TV show Monk? well thats me without the crime solving. |
Sounds like a great idea!

Thanks.

What a wonderful idea. Plus I did not know you needed to tape down all three layers. I have only been taping down the backing. I will remember to tape all three layers on my next quilt.
