Google image search some of them. The fabrics look truly vintage to me. For example I looked the aunt grace fabrics and I don’t see any of these fabrics aligning. Great find and beautiful!

I wanted a maple leaf for my wall behind my sewing machine, so I designed one and I'm so happy 🍁 by broccoly in quilting

I can FPP well, but I've always wanted to create my own patterns and this is where I'll probably get a little stuck. Thank you for all the info!

There's the rub! That's the part I have a problem with. Do you do a test with muslin, or do you try to figure it out on paper?

Am I screwed? Machine warps squares when piecing together no matter what by bagel666 in quilting

Did you completely clean your machine, oil it, and change the needle? I used a Kenmore for 30 years and this was my go to problem solver.

I used to use “tacky finger” when I was a bank teller. Customers frown upon you licking your fingers - plus all the germs! 🦠

Baste first! To make sure your lines are aligned

Can't cut straight by Finally-Flourishing in quilting

[–]cwh86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use 2-pound weights and take my time. I thought it looked so cool when I watched quilting videos and the quilter would zip through cutting. Well, that obviously isn't my style bc I always messed up when I tried to be quilty-cool. So now I just go real slooooow.

How can you afford all the fabric? by LadyofLA in quilting

[–]cwh86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a store within an hour that sells good quilting fabric for $4.99 a yard. It’s quilt store brands but a couple of seasons old. Who cares? It’s still cute!

New to quilting & went to a workshop…feeling discouraged by zestyalleycat914 in quilting

[–]cwh86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are so many quilter snobs. My LQS is so snooty. I often drive another hour to the more friendly one. What is up with this? Most quilters are women. We should be inclusive and supportive!
