Not a sin!!! Just normal quilters fixations/addictions. :-)

Jeannie - Anna will surely chime in on your question!
I butt the pieces of batting together and join them with a a large zigzag to make bigger pieces. I'm curious to see if anyone else does it differently! |
Quilting in your pyjamas is simply the best.....and pretending to your neighbours that you simply are not in !!

I just liberally overlap and then use a walking foot on a very large both long and wide zig zag. After I am done quilting I can not find it back in which quilt had pieces and which did not. I use mostly warm and natural but other bats too. I do take care to match the batting so I do not use Hobbs 80/20 in one piece and the other warm and natural. So when I save batting I store like batting together. I hope this helps.
Oh if I have very fluffy batting like a medium pollyester one I might just hand sew it with some big stiches.

I have never seen myself in so many postings before.
I have taught my children, (in their 20's), to put my packages in my sewing room so their Dad doesn't see them first. :oops: I just placed a large fabric order last night with Connecting Threads, breaking my word that I would use up all my fabric before buying more, *sigh*. My foot just reached for my sewing pedal to advance the computer :roll: . |
ok, this will be the worst confession so far:
I got a nice Viking Freesia 415 several years ago. I started making quilts....lots of quilts...and I taught myself to do FMQ, but in SEVEN years, I never took my bobbin area apart to clean out the lint!!! Didn't know you could/should!!!! My son came to my rescue when I complained about the machine not sewing right. He got tweezers and brushes and went to work! He tells everyone he got out enough lint to batt a small baby quilt!!! |
I thought about all of the confessions on this board and decided NO MORE FABRIC until I get to the states. I honetsly don't know if I COULD do that. There are so many sales online that i don't know what to do. The prices are even good with shipping!

I had to laugh out loud on this one because I have done this too, men's shirts sometimes give me that little trill like when you have found that just right fabric! I used to wash ALL my fabric but now I use some washed and some not. I use up half used bobbins no matter what type of thread is or color in there, mixing thread types in the same quilt. I have a real "thing" for half square triangle quilts. I piece battings. I love scrappy! I really wish I could free motion quilt but I just can't get "it" |
