If you could see my storage closet with the bags of leftover strips and pieces of batting stuffed between books and papers, you would have a field day!
Do you machine quilt heavily? do your quilts get washed much?
My concern is that hand sewing might not stay in place when you make your sandwich and keep smoothing out the quilt top - does it ever roll up or lump up?
As a beginner if there are 10 things to go wrong I will find half of them any given day! This week I've found ALL of them, mouse included, plus dealer forgetting to finish my machine maint and putting my bobbin case in wrong twice.
