trying to make chenille but i guess i did something wrong one direction came out good but the other was a mess???? going diagonal the result was nice but going perpendicular the result was really raged i used flannel

This is how I cheated with chenille. Made large blocks on the diagonal and trim them to the desired size with the cut rows going perpendicular. No one but you will know.
|
so then you put the blocks together ?
|
Yes. Just sew them as you do a rag quilt.
How many alyers are you working with? are you using and special chenille tool? |
I made a chenille throw and it came out great. Did you do one set of cuts on the bias, and the other set at a 90 degree angle to the first bias line?

Yikes! I got flannel to make a chenille scarf. You mean I can't just cut 5 layers the length of the fabric and layer them?

Gosh I am glad you told me! I would have done it wrong! Yea, I wish you could post pics. Maybe I can find an online tutorial. Anyone know any good ones?

You can sew your lines going different directions on the top layer. just make sure that they are all on a 45 degree angle or they will not fluff out as nicely.

what is cut on the bias i sewed one side on the diagonal all one way then i went from the edge of the fabric to the inside and stopped at the diagonal line i will load a pic in a min boy i feel like a dim wit
