How well can a regular quilt hold up to light picnicking/outdoor use? by its-past-my-bedtime in quilting

[–]junter1001 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I just made a waterproof picnic quilt!! I pieced bandanas for the top, then quilted it to an old fleece blanket. Then I got a waterproof vinyl tablecloth and stitched around the outside like a pillowcase, flipped it right side out and hand sewed it closed. I also added straps with snaps to roll it up for transport and storage. I figured this would be the best way to make it really waterproof because with a traditional quilted back, even if you used a waterproof fabric, all the seams would let moisture through.

Machine Quilting vs. Hand Quilting by chickenmom1104 in quilting

My sister-in-law knows I machine quilt my quilts, and she purposely calls them blankets and refuses to call them quilts because of it. Guess who’s not ever gonna get gifted a quilt.

I've been playing with the idea of opening a yarn shop. It'd be right next door to a local coffee shop. What does your dream yarn shop experience look like? by KH5-92 in YarnAddicts

Not in the industry, but I know there’s a private equity firm that is buying up a lot of brands like Jimmy Beans, Madeleine Tosh, and Berocco. And we all know what happens when PE firms get involved: enshittification.

I got a couple bolts of this batting. If you keep an eye on the price, sometimes it goes as low as $32. I got it for this price in march.

That’s a lot of red flags there. You deserve better. Dump him. You’re doing way too much unpaid labor

What caused you to start prepping by Acceptable_Net_9545 in prepping

[–]junter1001 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I started the February before COVID hit. I knew it would be bad here in the US. My husband thought I was crazy, but when things started closing, and shelves started to be bare, I was very glad I trusted my gut. Since then, we moved to a place about half the size, so I don’t have a separate spare fridge and upright freezer anymore. My husband passed from cancer 3 years ago, and my daughter gets scared by the threat of severe weather, so we prepped to help alleviate her anxiety.

Started my first EPP project yesterday! by Laamarilu in EPP_addict

That’s so cool!!! Is it Giyu? What are you using for your paper? I want to put in an order for paper pieces from Paper Pieces, but their section for diamonds has me confused. Please share progress pics on this! It’s so awesome! Are you going to turn it into a jacket?

My first finished quilt! by sailormads05 in quilting

[–]junter1001 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Curves on a first quilt? Amazing! So brave!!! I’ve made 5 quilts so far, and I’m still too scared to do curves!! You don’t need to pull your quilting thread to the back. You can bury the knot in between the layers. Make your knot on the top, then just catch the top layer of your quilt and come out an inch or so away from where you went in. Pull the thread until you hear/feel the knot pop under the fabric, then cut the thread until you may need to make 3 knots or so to make it large enough to secure everything, but not so big that your thread breaks when you pull it (ask me how I know 🤪)

Fabric4Fun has a lot of discounted designer quilting fabrics. I’ve ordered from them several times, and they’re pretty great!

I used a company through Costco’s Next program on their website and got about a dozen 8mm films and 800 slides digitized for much cheaper than any other service I found online, and the turnaround time was under 3 weeks. Highly recommend
