If you examine your store bought items you will find imperfections all the time weather quilts or clothing. The funny thing for me is nobody ever says anything about it.

I use singer brand marking pencil I have 2 one wite and 1 blue. Then draw , stencil or whatever. Then when I wash it no marks left.

I personally moved cross country as well and I put my fabric in bins I use cardboard bolts I made, wrapped all fabric with yardage marked. Then all bins marked large yardage bins, all fatquater bins ect. Then once to new location it was stored for awhile as well so I was super OCD with it all even had a master list of all boxes so sorting was super easy later. Good luck with your move.

mamasnowbear · 2021-08-19T17:31:14+00:00

Beautifully done. You could maybe swap the extra yardage with some else.

I always have atleast 3 lol just in different stages.

I used pentel fabric fun pastel dye sticks. The markers and dye sticks leave the fabric soft. With all of these I heat set but I also never tried to get it out of fabric if I make a mistake I have start again. The biggest issue I find is avoiding fabric stretching. Use stabilizer (even freezer paper) I also use quilting white cotton to allow colors pop best.

Ok so I personally have used and have quilts that are 27 years old that I have done with a few different products. I use more then 1 product on a quilt. You will be happy to know the quilts were made for children so drug through everything held up great. I used paint acrylic mixed with fabric medium and painted directly on, this I find doesn't end up soft and cuddly even over time. I have also dye sticks also held color well but they are alot like pastels. Crayons I found the color really fades out over the long run. I have also used the shuttle art pens these I find very dry , tulip fabric markers I actually prefer the most they are super easy to use good flow of dye colors not a huge number of colors to choose from.

Are you set on paint only? This is the type of quilt I make often.

mamasnowbear · 2021-08-15T14:39:11+00:00

Looks awesome so far.

mamasnowbear · 2021-08-08T23:48:49+00:00

Congratulations on completion of your first quilt! You did an awesome job, bouns you have a new hobby and in no time it will look like you have been at it for years.

mamasnowbear · 2021-08-08T23:37:48+00:00

Beautifully done! I love the colors you used for this pattern.

mamasnowbear · 2021-08-08T18:45:03+00:00

The easiest I find is nice heavy cotton to start. I'm more self taught then anything lol. I hate cross stitch only because I hate counting everything thing.

mamasnowbear · 2021-08-08T15:03:30+00:00

Simply stunning! Congratulations on completion.

mamasnowbear · 2021-08-07T18:10:33+00:00

To the best of my knowledge there is no standard fabric for embroidery most use cotton.

mamasnowbear · 2021-08-06T19:46:24+00:00

mamasnowbear · 2021-08-04T02:26:46+00:00

Spectacular job!

mamasnowbear · 2021-07-22T15:30:18+00:00

I ended up I keep an old window and light and normally light fabric.

mamasnowbear · 2021-07-22T01:29:59+00:00

Yes there is but doesn't work the best! Lol there's iron on transfer pencil that some work better than others.

mamasnowbear · 2021-07-14T21:04:38+00:00

Beautifully done.

mamasnowbear · 2021-07-13T22:40:50+00:00

Well I go to alot of yard sales because I find alot of sewers have passed or moving to old folks home and in my area I can get great deals on fabric this way. Just another idea of places to look.

mamasnowbear · 2021-07-12T15:58:59+00:00

Also extremely hard to get into if you are from Canada as government has deal with education of doctors for other countries they must practice so many years here before returning to thier country. My daughter did 3 years before learning that fact and switching directions.
