Every time I work on a quilt top I have strings all over the place :cry: I came across the tip and thought I would past it on. Using small pieces of fabric that you can keep at the sewing machine. :lol:When you have finished sewing palace the scrap fabric under the pressure foot and sew, then clip your block or strips from the back of the scrap leaving the scrap under the pressure foot. You are ready to sew again. And no strings. :thumbup:
