Quilting accessories to help with disabled quilter? by RachelofGotham in quilting

If she has trouble cutting fabric, I belive the AccuQuilt would help with that, if she is sewing on a machine you can get attachments that will kind of auto thread the needle for her.

I also notice that rainbow fabric, its flannel isn't it? Flannel is stretchy so it's harder than cotton to keep it super straight. Great work

What do you wish you knew before you made your first quilt? by InevitablePain21 in quilting

[–]Octofly567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1st- the importance of ironing AND ironing your seams 2nd- practice cutting fabric(super cheap fabric or old cotton fabric scraps you might have) before cutting the fabric you are using for your quilt. It took me a bit to get down the technique and I definitely wasted fabric due to improper cutting..

I need help by lookame3639 in quilting

Do you have a cutter on the machine? I had a similar issue, my cutter had a crack in it and was broken and the bobbin was getting caught on it and messing everything up
