|
yes I think so.
|
there was a lot of polyester and I have never worked with it before is it hard?
|
What a HAUL!!!!
Personally I don't use polyester in quilts. There's a couple of ladies in one of the quilting groups around here that use it to make cathater bag covers for the local VA hospital so I just give it to them. |

Definetly a bargin shopper. Wow

Lordy that's alot of fabric. I used to have an old polyester quilt, it was just squares & tied and the batting was an old sleeping bag, and a sheet for the backing, it was heavy but perfect for camping.
|
What a jack pot you hit...Good deal....A friend used poly knit on the back of pinic quilts, seems to wash up nice and last forever...She used it for all her kids at the parks and camping
|
Wow ... What a Haul!! I love the tourquoise paisley.
|
Double knit poly is a hard fabric to work with as it is slippery so I wouldn't use it for a quilt. I made a rag quilt with some that my mother gave me to use and she had cut all the squares and such, but if I had done a big X in the middle of the squares, then they might have been better. But it is a slippry fabric so it would probely be better for making clothing out of. Ejoy your new stash. I'd have a ball going through all that fabric. Huggies, Fay

Wow, Christmas in August at your house!!! Have fun!!!!!! :D
|
Dbl. Wow!! What a load!! I'm drooling over those luscious reds, fushias, burgs - oh, they look fantastic!! What fun this will be for you!! Enjoy, Kimbee!! :D :D ;) :!: :roll: 8-)
|
Now that is a haul!
|
Double knit poly wasn't hard to sew on, some had a little more stretch than others, but my gosh, I made lots and lots of clothing from it and stretching never was any problem. I even made a full length robe out of it , black top and patch work skirt. It was cute! Later cut off the skirt and made a play pad for my GS. That stuff washed up great and the colors stayed bright. I also used the poly called Quiana( SP? )It was thin and slippery, but it sure draped pretty in dresses. That I wouldn't use in a quilt!
|
My friend that got this for me told me I should make lap quilts out of it for the nursing homes and just give it to them. I might start there and see how it goes. But there are some realy neat stuff here and I will have fun trying to find something to do with it.
|
Holy cow! What a deal!
|
Wow, looks like you really got a wonderful assortment! I just love that yellow daisy fabric.
|
I see many, many quilts in your future. If you do have polyester double knit in that haul, it makes great stuff sacks for sleeping bags/pillows and camp or college laundry bags. They can be stuffed full, dragged down carpeted hallways and across parking lots week after week and take the abuse. I use my biggest pot lid to trace a bottom piece and then use the full width of the knit (usually 60" ) for the sides. Add a draw string around the top and you're all set. Happy stitching for many days or maybe months!
|
Nice haul.
|
Looks like you have enough to start your own store! What a wonderful buy.
|
thank you now I have to finish what I am working on so I can start some of the lap blankets.
|
OMG, what a load of fabric. I'm drooling.
