That sounds really simple and effective . Thanks jeanharville:)

Daffy, that is genius!!!! Just yesterday I finished hand quilting my sweet DH's quilt and used a scrap of fabric in my hoop for every length of the hoop... but this sleeve looks GREAT!!! Thank you for sharing this!!!!
And IQ2, enjoy the process!!! |
Well, this thread was more wonderful than I even expected it to be! I thank you all for the wonderful suggestions. Last night I pinned a practice FMQ sandwich that I had onto the edge of the quilt I'm hand quilting and it worked like a charm, but I also want to try the rubber bands and will definitely look into Daffy's sleeve...that IS adorable. I told the members of my quilting group about it and the hand-quilters' eyes lit up with excitement.
So again thanks to all for your generous help. It is greatly appreciated:) |
Since a few people have expressed an interest in the hoop sleeve, I'm putting the steps for making one in the tutorial section. I didn't find a copy of the magazine page with illustrations, so it's just my typed directions.
