This is such a good reminder to do something with all of my small scraps...that I have no plans for...think I may just sew some together today. I collected a few of those reg paper rolls.
|
I used this method for the border of my "Scrappy-and I like it!" post.
|
I have seen this idea before, but not the quilt ideas. Sue Fish, your quilts are wonderful.
Lacelady, your roll holder is upcycle super. Scrappy quilts make me smile. |
I love your idea and all of the scrappy quilts!

how to get paper off
After you sew the paper strip onto your quilt, use a spray bottle of water to spritz it and the paper will practically fall off. I do this for all my paper piecing. This is an excellent tutorial.

I'd like to see a picture(s) of a completed quilt(s) using this method for ideas. Looks like fun and interesting way to use scraps. Thanks

Would hand sewing the pieces on the paper work as well as machine sewing? This would be something to do while watching tv.

Great idea but doesn't sewing thru paper dull the needle?
|

|
That is soooooo cool. Thanks for the idea

I like it sort of wonky rather than each piece cut exactly the same and sewn straight..but you can do either I start with my paper in a box or in the pic you can see I use the thread holder...anything to keep it from rolling all over. I cut my scraps anywhere from about 1" wide to 1 1/2" wide and about 3 1/2" long. First you lay one piece right side up on the end of your paper...lay the next strip face down on that and sew as shown using 1/4" seam allowance.. Flip it back and finger press and then lay the next piece face down on that and repeat...I like to sew them at a little angle here and there to make them "wonky".....continue on as long as you like but I find normally I stopped at about 1 yard of the piecing and trimmed it as shown and then rolled it up and continued on...make sense? |

My quilt guild is saving small pieces to stuff dog beds for shelters. One of the quilts I am working on has a braid that I seem to be allowing it to get out of hand. I have tried the disappearing 9 patch with it as well. After getting into applique, it seems to be about lots of scraps and I have gotten worse about not throwing anything away! I must find a happy medium!

Love the idea, I guess i'll have to start stripping on the machine tape I have . got it when I worked at a bank adding machine tape was no longer needed so I was given some. ( that was years ago) turned yellow but that dosn.t matter
always hae little scraps don't know what to do with guess I know now, will start soon. |

This is so cool. Even I could use up my bits and pieces instead of giving them away. Thank you for showing us this one. So very cool!
|
This is a wonderful tutorial and I copied and pasted & printed it off. I have lots of scraps that I can use and a supply of the paper rolls. Off to sew. Thanks for sharing your tute with us.

Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville is a big time promoter of this idea. I have made them and I just use very tiny stitch so easy to rip off paper. Some of the copy stores will take your old phone books and cut off the bound edge and then cut page to your size and it doesn't cost much at all, a couple of dollars.
|
stupid question how do I book mark thanks
|
Look at top of page...click on 'Thread Tools' then click on subscribe!!!

Are there directions for the quilts shown anywhere. I just started using adding machine tape today, it is awesome for using scrap pieces!
|
Great idea.

excellent idea for doing the binding!!!!!!!! thank you! I picked up a bunch of the adding machine paper at a thrift store!!!!
|
Hello Great Idea. Would you need to remove the paper before using it. Love you quilts and thanks for the demo.
|
I can't find the tutorial on string piecing. Can someone direct me on how to find it? Carol
OK, I finally went far enough and found it at the end! Love this idea. |
Where do u find 3" adding machine tape without going to an office supply place that charges an arm & leg?
