I prefer fabric foundations.
So does that mean you basically sew the pieces to a light backing/foundation fabric? Sounds better than getting the papers removed, but unless it's a crazy quilt, you'd need to somehow get the lines onto that foundation paper, right?
Oops - on the last sentence, I meant foundation "fabric".
Thanks.
yikes I was afraid someone would ask, LOL. I haven't done it in quite awhile so without it in front of me to look at it while I explain it ... the best that I remember is that you fold the paper under and stitch along the fold but NOT on the paper. I made several blocks this way for a group project, all of us used the same technique, and it was wonderful not to have to rip off the paper when we were done.
anyone else here know what I'm talking about, maybe using this technique yourselves?
