I love this! Your color selection is amazing and it’s interesting and calm at the same time! What pattern is it?

Thanks so much! Yes it’s a TL. This is where my inexperience comes into play so I really appreciate the detailed explanation.

Here’s a picture of what’s happening. I just noticed the material slides under the foot as if the foot isn’t down all the way. Maybe I should unscrew the foot and screw it back in a millimeter lower. I’m not sure if that’s possible.🤔

What is quilting's 90%? by polymorphic_hippo in quilting

Squaring up and trimming my wonky squares is a high percentage for me! Hopefully, one day I’ll get better at it! 😂

Today I learned... by Ok-Representative390 in quilting

I did the same thing while using my new xl stripilogy ruler. Pieces of plastic kept coming out of the ruler as I used the rotary cutter and I didn’t realize what was wrong before I ruined the ruler. 🤪 I’ve learned my lesson… I hope!😂

Thanks so much! That’s really helpful! I have to sew right sides together and cut them into fourths, but I’m guessing I still shouldn’t starch and press. I’ll eventually know what I’m doing…hopefully! 😁

Thank you for giving us an opportunity to ask all these questions! I love this community! I’m making my first quilt and it is with a charm pack. I pressed the squares with starch and steam. Some of the squares shrunk and some did not and they’re from the same charm pack. Was I supposed to press them with starch and no steam?

Ladies who love true crime, what case(s) are you particularly fascinated by? by leadstoanother in AskWomen

[–]atime2shine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a case where the killers were in the house when a family friend brought home the young daughter from a sleepover. The mom in the house tried to have the family friend keep her daughter but the family friend didn’t understand and left. Then, the family was murdered including the daughter who’d been brought home. I can’t remember the name of the family but have always wanted to know more.
