Drunk & Crazy. Use the "crazy" circle, cut into quaters, to make the cricular corner for a drunkard's path block. LOL, should make quite an interesting scrappy quilt using bigger scraps for the square part and then more scraps in the "crazy" curved part. This old gal would have to applique the quarter circle rather than try to piece it into the square part. |

Before turrning, I clip the corners. Once turned, I like to use a chopstick to push out corners. I make up several at a time and then while watching (listening) to television, I hand stitch the opening with a heavy duty quilting thread. Being a true scrapper, I only use scraps of all sizes and colors. Toss the scraps in a bag, or basket, and pull them out and sew. More information then you asked for. Have fun with it. Your friends will love them. Eileen

...and the projects just keep growing for this little over looked item.
|
I just picked up some coffee filters at the Dollar store: 160 in the package for $1.
|
Hi Gang.
These coffeefilters are wonderful for cleaning windows. Your Mirrors, anything you Use Windex or Polish on. Just a little hint Bev in Ohio |
I believe it is supposed to tear away very easy, with a little spray of water at the seams it should just pull away. I will be trying this tomorrow.
|
I use coffee filters for my samplers on my machine embroidery. stabilizer is so expensive. joan
|
Thanks for the link. I use the small filters for a 4 cup & hubby uses the larger ones. Got to try these. Thanks so much for the link and to everyone with other uses.
|
Thanks for sharing this link and for all the great ideas this topic has generated! WOW!!!
|
What a great idea, I will use it for my next "Mug Rug" sewing. Good way to use some scraps.
|
I don't use coffee filter for coffee but I use them for dusting, cleaning mirrors, windows, layering cookies in a tin or plate, I let one absorb the grease floating on top of soups/stews, microwave, and so many more uses. The big size ones you can find at Sam's or Cosco are great. I keep a package of small, regular, and industrial size.
This will be a great demo for guild so thanks for posting! |
Thanks foe sharing very cool
|
Very clever!
|
And that has given me the idea to use them as a stabilizer as well......not that I am the first to think of that......
