foundations for string piecing
I read online (maybe right here) that a Pellon pattern paper was good for string piecing foundations. I tried it and found that it was quite stiff. I finished the quilt and then washed it which helped to make it a bit more cuddly, but I think I will go back to using thin fabric as a foundation. It was very hard to work with the quilt sandwich to machine quilt it. I love using up strips of fabric for string piecing but am not willing to remove paper--even newspaper print is too much for me to work with since my hands are compromised due to arthritis. Any of you have any input on this subject? Thanks.
