I have been quilting borders by drawing my vine with leaves onto the waxed paper, then pinning it to the borders (I used the 3 inch borders), then I stitched right over the wax paper. Works great and the needle doesn't collect the wax, and seems to let the needle work better. The tearing away of the waxed paper is great also and I do use a tweezers to get the little biddy pieces. I use regular stitch length or 2.5 and it works great. Thanks for the tip on sewing over vynal, I will have to remember that when I try to quilt over vynal appliques.
I do this too. Whenever I want to use stencils on my quilt, I trace them onto the waxed paper instead of marking them on my fabric. Magically it makes following a line so much easier! I'll remember this tip for T-shirt quilts if I ever get the chance to make one. Thanks! |
Should have read this earlier. I made two T shirt pillows today. Your tip would have helped.
|
Just finished a T shirt quilt and hope I can remember this for the next one I do.
|
Thanks so much for the wax paper tip.
|
Thank you from a new quilter.
|
Thanks so much for the hint. will be making a tshirt gift starting in Jan.
|
I hope I can remember this tip when I need it. thanks for sharing.

Is wax paper the same as freezer paper? I've heard of using freezer paper to print and transfer designs. I'm not quite sure how that works.

I'm going to keep that in my memory bank! Thanks!!

be VERY careful using Wax paper!!! it can gum up your needles---and if you use it alot after some time some of the wax could work it's way up into areas you can not clean---and cause some very costly repairs...a paper without a wax coating will have the same benefit---with out the huge danger of messing up your machine.
