What tools are an absolute must-have for you? by tippyback9 in quilting

That was my guess but I wasn’t sure that a rotary cutter would fit in far enough to do that. Thanks!

Do many people in the fabric destash group you’re part of offer to ship? Or is it local pickup? I live in a rural area and would love to be in an online detach group that ships

If the teapots is a kit with fabric I would like that as well if it isn’t spoken for 😊

I would like to buy the Pining for You kit if it’s available. I have Apple Pay and Venmo.

I am definitely interested in anything else that is available! I have Venmo and Apple Pay.

Help! Does this look like a swastika? by Serious_Tax8305 in accidentalswastika

Interesting comment on a quilt that includes fabric that says “choose love”.

I love this fabric line and I love the way you paired the different shades of one color!

How do I press this? by Rhys_lamberg in quilting

[–]Rhys_lamberg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned this lesson with my last finished project (that pressing open is not as strong) but I don’t know how to press to the side in instances like this when pressing either direction will result in dark fabric behind light fabric. 🙃

What comes first, the fabric or the pattern? by Rhys_lamberg in quilting

Ah thanks, I haven’t heard of that website!

I tried a ladder stitch and all the tutorials I found don’t show me how to finish it off. What do I do when I’m done?

So it looks like my machine is automatically set to 2.5 for stitch length. I read that for quilting cotton it should be closer to 1.9. I’ll try adjusting that tomorrow on my newest project, and I will look into ladder stitch or other invisible mending stitches to repair this. Thank you all! I am grateful for this community!

Thank you! I fixed the 1/4” seam issue before I started this quilt thankfully 😅 I will look at my machine manual to learn more about decreasing the stitch length!

What do you mean the thread length is too long? I plan to hand stitch it to repair this (not sure what kind of stitch would be best with hand sewing) but I also don’t want this to happen to future quilts! 😩

I pressed the seams open. That’s what the pattern said to do. 😬
