AnngelAnne,
I'm famous for putting stripes and directional fabrics in my quilts...especially on sashing and borders. I'll post some pics where I've done it. One trick I've found is I often cut along 1 stripe instead of cutting the exact width
It's actually worked out better a couple of times.
Tracey,
It was AnngelAnne who posted about not handling stripes, I love that you sent them!
I'm not afraid of them. But I am intimidated by fmq. No matter how much I say I'm just going to do it more often, I seem to revert back to outline quilting or hand quilting...lol.
I wonder why you haven't received your pkg...haven't heard from my other partner either...hmmm. hopefully y'all will get them today...
Regards all,
Kif
Well Kif, if I had not just gone thru my whole stash a few months ago, I would pick out all the stripes, and even suggestion of stripes I would box it up and send it to you. As it was I took it all out to goodwill and let them have at it. I give you kudos for working with them as I totally find them frustrating. But now that I have only a few (I think some grew back) I am sure I didn't miss them when sorting, not so overwhelming I will try to work with them a bit. Especially with your suggestion of trying to cut alone one strip. Thanks.
