Rickrack is back
 

This isn't the first time I've seen it, but the first I've decided to post it. Here's a binding tutorial, showing what amounts to a "flange" made of rick-rack. So-so cute, I think and inspiration to use other similar materials to "flange," lace or whatever. http://beeinmybonnetco.blogspot.com/...er-quilty.html.

Never thought I'd see it, but the 70's really is back :).

YES!! They're BACKKKK!!! Said I would never go there again, but my kitchen is now orange, gold and green. Ten years ago I would have said "no way in H---", but now I love it!!!

I think it is cool.love the big rick rack.

I'm pretty sure I'd never go that far ;-).

I just put rickrack on my bathroom curtains. Sorry but I loved the 70's.

No need to say "sorry". We all have different tastes! I think colors might bring back memories of good times in our lives. I guess the 70's wasn't such a great time for me, lol.

I have never been one to follow any color trends in quilting either. I have colors I like, colors I don't and tend to stick with the ones that make me happy. Most of my quilts are scrappy.

Still love the rickrack and it inspires for other things a person could do.

I have the rick rack die for my Go. I have used it more then I thought I would. Lots of great ways to use fabric rickrack.

I think rickrack looks so cute used in quilts, but I don't like the way it curls up after you wash it...

I don't like how it curls up after washing either, but wonder if it gets a prewash before using so that it will be preshrunk and no longer curl??

I've been using a little jumbo rick rack as well as a little lace on a few blocks on all the little girl baby quilts I'm making, and I love it!

I may be wrong but I think the new ric rac is poly so no, it is not shrinkage, just the nature of the product. Think if I were going to use if I would zigzag up and down to keep from curling or do something to tack it down

Great tute, thanks. Maybe now I'll actually use the Accuquilt Zig Zag die that I bought some time ago.

When I buy any kind of trim I carefully take it out of the package and put a few basting stitches in it to hold it together. Then I put it into a lingerie/laundry bag and toss into washer with like colors. Then into the dryer. Then use a cool iron to press. the stitching keeps it in place so it doesn't get tangled with the rest of any trim. My Dh looks at me funny when he sees laundry bags in he wash. I pre wash everything going into a quilt with exception of course to thread.

Rick-Rack can be a fun addition. I like bright and happy quilts, and do tack down places if I feel they may be an issue...

Nice tutorial! Thanks.

I'm excited that the GO has a ric rac die....been trying to find a ruler......this is better!

The rickrack flowers are extremeley cute. Saw some on Pinterest.

I have been using rick rack in quilts for at least the last 8 years. The quality coming out of China in the package, you have to remove it and check the contents to make sure it is not all stretched out in places.
