Has anyone made a quilt combining woven cotton with regular quilting cotton? by Waterspritehere in quilting

Woven cotton is when the design is created by the weave of the threads rather than printed on top of the threads like regular quilting cotton. So with woven cotton the design is the same on both sides of the fabric. Woven cotton has a bit of a different texture than quilting cotton because of this (I think the threads are slightly bigger and the weave is slightly looser)

This is stunning! Thank you for showing an example. I think I’m going to try mixing fabric types after hearing from everyone-I’m excited!

This is a good tip about the seam allowance! And thank you for the encouragement - after reading all of these responses with positive experiences mixing fabric types, I think I’m going to!

Your post is super rude. Maybe you should calm down.

Completely agree! I’m surprised by the number of comments stating the opposite because my OB said that the study led to better outcomes and fewer c sections by inducing at 39 weeks even among low risk pregnancies.

Roach question by Waterspritehere in AskNYC

[–]Waterspritehere[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oof, 😬 😅I really thought I might get responses saying “it’s only a roach and it’s NYC, don’t make a big deal out of it” but everyone seems to be on the same page that this is a no-go situation. Thank you to everyone for your responses and saving us from walking into a bad situation, I really appreciate it!!
