I just need to know what you do with the label after you make one. Do you iron it one? I must have missed that information. Totally enjoyed your video.
Wow!!! looking for help on doing a mitered corners and I ran upon your youtube video Font & Porter's. Excellent, very easy to follow and not a lot of explaining. I saved it under my quilt file. Thanks
These people really need to update their methods of sewing half square triangles. I know there’s much faster way to do this instead of cutting out these tiny little blocks of fabric. I think Missouri star quilt channel has better methods
Awesome. I finally found what I was looking for. You answered all my questions about multiple seams meeting and how to deal with the bulk. Thanks Ladies! And especially love the little quilting pillow. Love it...from Ontario, Canada.
Your washing instructions are not practical or affordable. I have lots of experience with using previously owned silk ties . Washing is important and dry cleaning is too expensive. You suggest making the blocks and then cleaning them. Many silk ties do-not have the dyes fixed well and shed dye. Also, anything from a thrift store gets washed as soon as I bring it home! ( Once i bought a box of 100 ties off ebay and they smelled like vomit! ) I group the ties by color and soak them in water with synthrapol ( or another “ dye catcher” detergent. ) then drip dry. After that I put about 6 ties into each large garment bag and wash the bags in my machine on gentle. I dry them still in the dryer, still in the bags. After they are clean I take them apart, iron and make sure the fabric is good, and roll them on to drinking straws starting at the narrow end. PLEASE do not encourage people to work on ties from unknown sources without washing them! Also, each fabric shrinks differently so perfect blocks can become a mess when washed.
For the quilt with binding already finished, are you hand stitching next to the binding and therefore around the whole sleeve, or machine stitching on the binding edge with the hope of following the same stitch line from the binding? Does that make sense? Do I hand stitch the entire thing?
You can still find these exact links by searching their website directly from the link in the account bio instead of just the video bio. Just put “alphabet” in their search bar once on the website.
@sdcgren6301 - I have this frame set up on my cutting table, which is two IKEA shelves on their sides and an old table top on the top. So l measured it and you would need an area 23” by 51” to set it on. I hope that helps.
The frame is always shown just resting on a fairly narrow table yet ones the frame with its machine is working it appears to need an square table. It seems to need a lot more depth wise, any help would be appreciated
