Confessions of a Quilter
I sew over pins. On my vintage singer to my Pfaff 2056! Have for years.
|
I mix stripes with plaids. (The horror!)
I have to have all my fat quarters folded the same way. Even cute bundles from quilt shops need to be unfolded, pressed, and folded my way. |
I use only black or white thread for quilting.
|
I don't always wash my fabric...and sometimes I even mix washed and unwashed...

I never iron the way you r supposed too......kelly

I just looked at the dust in my house and went upstairs to sew anyway ...
PS You guys are a hoot! |
Me too! Having been a garmet sewer there is no way to "ease" a sleeve into the armhole without pins and you sewed over them - slowly - so it can be done. However, I do not have a fancy new machine so don't know if you can do this with them or not.

If I have a wavy border I sew dart in it where the fullness is before sewing it to the quilt. It's almost invisible. A prize winning quilter at Paducah told me how to do that.
I use to sew over pins until the needle hit one just right and it did a lot of damage to the machine. The timing went out and the bobbin case got all messed up. The needle jammed but didn't break and fly out. |
BellaBoo that is a prizewinner! Wonderful. My little great grandaughter wrote in the dust under my TV. Think I'll leave it there.

I don't pin, I use the lines on my mat
