Rag Quilt snipping question
#1
I am making a rag quilt and have just begun to sew all my rows together. I completed sewing row 1 to row 2. I don't plan on sewing row 3 to row 2 until tomorrow. While watching TV tonight is it ok if I snip the sams on row 1 and continue to do so as I progress throughout the quilt. It is such a busy time of year for all of us, and I was looking for a way to relax yet continue to work on the quilt. This might seem like a dumb question to some, but I am soooooooooooo green at this! :roll: :roll:
Thanks all! ;) ;)

I just finished one a few weeks ago for my daughter. Was just supposed to be a throw, but the thing is huge! Anyhow, I snipped a little at a time just as you suggested while watching TV. I would sew 2 rows together and then snip, sew 2 more rows snip some more. Went well, came out great and my hands didn't get sore.
Go for it!

that is EXACTLY how I do it and BE SURE to get a pair of those little 2 inch blade Fisker scissors to snip. This spring loaded style is perfect becasue it tkes all the ''work'' out of opening the shears for you and the power in those little blades make the work go pretty fast!!
Be sure to clean your dryer lint trap every 4-5 minutes after you wash it for the first time....they shed lint like crazy for the first couple of washing and drying cycles!!!!!
