First finish in 2013 and free motion tip
 
2 Attachment(s)
I made this scrappy for my husband and after I got it done found some eyelashing on the back, oh well (just hope it holds up)! I periodically checked the back, but evidently it wasn't enough. He picked out the fabric for the border, he's a musician on the weekends. I backed it with flannel as he's always cold due to diabetes. Tip: I learned this from a lady who taught a free-motion class to use glycerin on you fingers instead of gloves. The glycerin helps you hold on to the quilt and it doesn't stain the fabric. I buy it in the cake decorating supplies.

Looks like someone else is enjoying the new quilt.

Great quilt. I'm going to have to try your tip about using glycerin, instead of quilting gloves. I hate the gloves, but could never hold the quilt well enough without them. If the glycerin works for me, I'll be forever grateful!

Real nice quilt and thanks for the tip. Is this called a strip quilt?

Great scrappy!!

Very pretty quilt. I have found eyelashes on the back of a couple quilts. I ripped it all out and redid the quilting. The stitches come out real easy. I found the top threading came out of one of the places and that caused the problem.

terri bb 01-12-2013 06:27 PM

boy that is sure bright and pretty! i wonder tho, why would your gloves stain your fabric?

DebbE 01-12-2013 06:40 PM

Oh, that's a lovely quilt! Thanks for the tip with the glycerin, too. What a beauty that quilt is!

Looks as if your husband will have to fight for his quilt. It is lovely!

A lovely quilt, I use Clover Non slip finger which is a non greasy stick that you put on your hands and fingers, works a treat which is good as I hate wearing gloves at any time!
