p.s. Me and my husband laughed hysterically when we first saw your profile pic![/quote]
I'm happy to have entertained you, I always tell people that she (the big fluffy head in the photo) is my little girl. I have two real boys. Good luck with the quilt. Share a photo when your done. |
love the quilt, show us the finished on, ooopss, gotta run and get a cupcake right now
|
I swear y Steam a Seam 2. It is movable till you press it down. I agree if it is buckling, use a stabilizer under it. Can't go wrong with it.
|
If you use fusible web or even you glue stick, it will help keep them in place and I suggest sewing with buttonhole stitch or if you do not have it on your sewing machine, the zigzag but put a stabilizer or I use typing paper behind the applique then remove the paper after the sewing is done. It will stop the wave effect.

Cute quilt!

I can't wait to see it finished. My kids would love for me to make them a quilt like that.

http://greatamericanquilt.com/store/odetoacupcake.html Since this is my first quilt and I have not taking any quilting classes (yet) I am going to buy a quarter in foot this week. I'm so excited to started sewing these squares together but I am worried about making some kind of serious mistake. |
I am just guessing, since I didnt see a picture of the finished applique, but I know when mine come out "wavy" - it's because I didn't ... stop, lift my presser foot and rotate the applique slightly. I have learned to do this after every few stitches and it seems to solve the "waviness"

Hope this helps! I've never tried a coffee filter. Great idea...I can't wait to use this tip! |
