Forgot your sewing machine cord at retreat?

  • Try using a CPAP machine cord.

Bobbins

  • When starting a project, fill several bobbins so you can sew non-stop and prevent "air sewing."

How many squares are in a fat quarter?

  • 12 - 5" squares
    20 - 4" squares
    42 - 3" squares
    56 - 2 1/2" squares
    90 - 2" squares 

Label your quilts!

  • No matter how small the project is, label it!  At a minimum, include the name of the maker, date completed, and where it was made.  You can also include other information such as quilt recipient and occasion.

Paper Piecing

  • Use a small stitch length (18-20 stitches per inch) when using paper foundations, so that the stitches do not rip out when the paper is removed. 
  •  Use a dry iron when pressing. Steam could cause the paper foundation and/or fabric to shrink or distort.
