I am making a quilt of all triangles. 8" squares cut diagonally. So now at several points on the quilt I have 8 triangle points meeting in a big knot. How do you all manage that?
|
Poke a pin straight through all of the layers right at the junction. With the pin sticking up take 2 more pins and carefully put a pin on each side of the junction. Then carefully sew easing in extra fabric but keep that point stationary sewing straight through the point no matter whether it is 1/4 inch or not. Clear as mud? Let me know if you need pictures.
|
Crap, I knew I didn't sound right in my post. Sorry. Let me try again. I was able to sew through them no problem but I am worried I am going to have big bumps in the quilt after it is finished. Will that be a problem or will it turn out ok?
|
have you ironed them so the bulk goes away from each oher? Once quilted, they should be ok. What kind of batting did you want to use?
|
Just take a big hammer and smash them down. lol
Isn't that the right way to do it? I think someone on the board mentioned mashing them down. I know, I'm of no help. One reason why I don't like doing something like that. |
If Terri's suggestion doesn't work get a bigger hammer. LOL
|
Or if the hammer doesn't work, try running over it with your car....
Aren't we all a big help today?????? |
and if none of those work, find a steam roller.
No, really,,,,just finish the quilt off and send it to me! :) I won't care if there are little "love mistakes" in there! :) |
Here's the other thread about those bulky seams in the center. It really does work nicely.

http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/15/9893.page Thanks bj!!! I guess we don't really need that steam roller after all... |
Try pressing they into a "circle". I'll actually look more like an 8-pointed star. This will spread the bulk out.
