advice for HSTs and fabric weight
Hi
Two questions:
1. I just completed my first quilt tob with half square triangles, and remembered why I avoided them in the past. Is there a secret to how to press them so that you dont end with all the seam allowances stakced on top of each other? I have done bargello quilts, where the instructions tell you which way to press the seams, and if you do it correctly the back side of the quilt is perfectly tidy with all of the seams nested. The backside of my quilt with HSTs was very messy in places. Any advice
2. I'd appreciate hearing your wisdom about making quilts using fabric of different weights. I am not talking about mixing velvet with lace, but rather quilting cotton with homespun (a bit heavier) with batiks (which seam lighter) with Liberty of London (very light weight and beautiful. Thanks in advance for your help.
