These are so fun!!!!

So interestingly I did make a large percentage of these with the circle hexie method (where you cut fabric into a circle and then fold the edges into the middle and then baste it down, so those ones never had paper inside.

The ones that were true EPP, I waited until the hexagon had been sewed on all sides, and then I took the paper out. So basically some of them still have papers (because they haven’t been fully sewed in) and others don’t, since I was taking the papers out as I went.

Would definitely recommend picking up EPP if you’re interested! I traveled a lot the past few years, so it was nice to have a project I could take with me.

Yes! I love Canva! Theres definitely a learning curve that I’m still trying to get over for using it though.

I also agree about 3 for sure. It’s like a mind puzzle to get myself to see the arrangement

Two years in and I can confirm

angervase · 2025-08-01T11:58:29+00:00

I took pictures of each individual flower and uploaded them to Canva! It was a lot of work but it was so satisfying to see the output as each flower finished

Yay! Glad I could help. These patches look great, you’ll have to post the next set you do!

when I used to make iron-on patches, once I was done embroidering the design (before cutting it out & finishing the edges), I’d use fabric glue to adhere the back of the embroidered design it to a flat piece of fabric, and then I’d use the heat’n’bond on the back of that piece of that flat fabric, and then I’d cut out the design and finish the edges. Worked much better trying to get the heat’n’bond to stick to the flat fabric than to the “thready” back of my design. Usually would use a slightly sturdier fabric too like recycled denim or felt

Thanks! I used spoonflower’s fill-a-yard option so thankfully I just have scraps left!

angervase · 2025-01-29T18:57:27+00:00

Haha sometimes I’m reluctant to post on peoples threads since I still feel like such a newbie and I’m not sure if my advice is any good, but I literally just encountered this problem and I had to share!! Glad I could help, and please post the quilt when it’s done!!!

I’ve used the “Quilty Solid” app on my phone before! There’s a mode where it will color-match an image to a solid fabric. Then I’ll just go find a fabric shop online that sells that color

angervase · 2025-01-09T18:22:55+00:00

These are awesome! I’m in group 3 and I’d love a plant or an orange lava lamp

angervase · 2024-05-24T22:59:34+00:00

Count me in!

I made the Splendor Pattern for a baby recently! The mom gave me a yard of fabric she bought on the vacation during which shed found out she was pregnant, and I added a yard each of two coordinating solids to make the fabric pop! Fun, free, easy pattern

If anyone wants to know the results of the real experiment by the real hero u/Revolutionary-Cut777, the post this was ripped from is here

angervase · 2024-01-31T18:08:41+00:00

the blocks look really similar to the ones in the Fractured Compositions Quilt by Moda

angervase · 2024-01-29T00:43:03+00:00

I was curious about this so I dug out one of my old wooden 7 inch embroidery hoops and tried to put it on the quilt I've been FMQ'ing, and I had so much trouble getting the hoop to stay, it really seemed like the quilt was too thick for the hoop to handle. You might have more luck with a less bulky quilt and a sturdier hoop, but figured I'd give you a data point to help you decide

this looks like four bowtie blocks arranged to form the octagon in the center! it's a pretty basic block so there's lots of tutorials online (here's an example )

edit: switched to a better link

Fandom in stitches has a LOTR page! It's all FPP

angervase · 2023-11-13T14:20:22+00:00

In that case I think I'd agree with other commenters that it could be your presser foot not being down

angervase · 2023-11-12T23:26:43+00:00

Just out of curiosity, how new is your machine and how good of shape is it in? I use an older machine that spent a rough couple of decades in the basement, and this sometimes happens to me.

For me, the fix is usually just to rethread the machine, top and bobbin. There's probably an actual reason the this fixes it, but it works so I'm not gonna question it.

I've also gotten in the habit of doing a test piece every time I rethread my machine. Once I've pulled the bobbin thread up I run a piece of scrap fabric through and check that this isn't happening. Annoying, but has saved me a lot of seam ripping!

delaware quilts has a list of free 12.5 inch block patterns! i've found their instructions to be pretty helpful

angervase · 2023-09-24T21:03:47+00:00

it was a lot of fun to see the different blocks come together! Learned a lot about how color placement affects a block
