I appreciate all the tips and techniques and you'll probably present some I'm unfamiliar with. I also know a few people at work who keeps saying they'd like to learn how to make quilts. If you do a quilt-a-long, I'll certainly tell those people about it.Heather Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10225483666564626507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-20462473220630115722013-06-26T13:37:01.265-07:002013-06-26T13:37:01.265-07:00I'll play!

I ...Thank you Jolene, I'll see what can I do... I like the softness it's something between cotton and silk, slightly slippery, but soft, I don't know how to describe. They are a pais of pareos I bought in oportunities at Ikea, and my girl loves them, so I tought I could use it as backing, but I want the quilt to be longlasting so... let's see. I'll tell you when decide. :)Os Tartarouchoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12010463285020698624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-31748474355075437722013-06-20T16:45:45.697-07:002013-06-20T16:45:45.697-07:00i guess i have been doing it wrong. i stitch the ...i guess i have been doing it wrong. i stitch the binding to the front and bring it around back to hand stitch it on, i guess so that i can incorporate the tag onto the back of the quilt. :)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18064595094488706039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-69163147754005722162013-06-20T15:41:06.914-07:002013-06-20T15:41:06.914-07:00I don't have any experience using viscose (is ...I don't have any experience using viscose (is it similiar to rayon?) My advice would be, if you like the feel and the print, and it's not too stretchy and slippery, then use it!<br /><br />If you're at all concerned about the quality, then choose something else. Sorry I can't be of more help. But to me it really depends on how important it is to me to use that particular piece.Jolenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129017092245557384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-4185594991387011722013-06-20T15:35:14.906-07:002013-06-20T15:35:14.906-07:00Yay!

For the book suggestion, I'd have to think a bit. I recommend Liberated Quiltmaking II by Gwen Marston to every quilter. But that's more of an overall concept of quilting, rather than the actual practical knowledge of how to sew a quilt. I have heard good things about Oh Fransson's Practical Guide to Patchwork, but have never seen the book myself.<br /><br />I'm happy to hear you'll be joining us!Jolenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129017092245557384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-18968929714279285022013-06-20T15:25:07.766-07:002013-06-20T15:25:07.766-07:00Ouch!
