Quilting Phobias
#104
My fear now is of making huge quilts. I find them just too much to handle. Now that I'm finally FMQing my work, I couldn't even do a lapsize. I did one block & hated it so much I took out every little stitch. I haven't touched that beaut. top again. I will someday but ...................?

I do not have a problem with triangles, but for those that do, check out this software. I bought it and if you need a lot of triangles of the same fabric, this works really well. Check it out here:

re: paper piecing...I had that same backward sewing thing. Then I bought Carol Doak dvd...it is now still backward sewing, but her video made it easier to understand. When I do something with it, I kind of first have to sit back and clear my head of regular sewing, then begin........just my way

Applique and I don't get along. Then there's paper piecing. I've done it a couple of times, turned out okay, but have also taken classes on it which really warped my thinking on paper piecing. I've done needle turn applique too, but may never do it again.
