What is your least favorite part of quilting?
#133
I'd say my least favorite is putting the backing on the quilt rack. The sandwiching is okay for me; the tying is lots of fun; the hemming or binding is not my favorite, but it's the final touch so I feel good about it!!

I love the process of making the piece.

I don't like the basting, but I hate the ironing after it's finished before I either send it to the LAQ or baste it myself. When I get my big ironing board it should be easier, but until then it's my least favorite thing.

I really dislike the prewashing and ironing of the fabric before I can even start the pattern. I feel that it is necessary since I've had a bad experience of not prewashing but I really just want to start sewing.

Sandwiching is probably my least favourite part...time consuming, but getting it right is pretty much essential. I love binding, it's like the icing on the cake and I really love to put a bit of handwork in each piece, so handstitching on the back side is rather therapeutic! (especially if you have had "one of those days").

I have little space and working on my own, so I dislike sandwiching. A friend's son used to volunteer to assist me, and it was quick and fun. He has now graduated from University and moved to a new town - so I miss the companionship as well.
