We only had a few people attending our July meeting...so many out of town, but it was a fun meeting. We shared some tips. Here they are:
1. Binding-when doing corners and you are turning, make sure you can see a little bit of the quilt edge above the binding fold and also, when hand stitching the bidning make sure as you come to the corner that the binding doesn't get too wide.
2.When making handles, use cotton webbing on top with the fabric and topstitch
3. On curves, use pinking shears instead of clipping curves
4.If your quilt turns out wavy, try blocking it.
5.Keep a tape measure in your purse and frosted rulers are a favorite
6.Favorite seam ripper is the one with a rubber end and favorite turning device is the turning bone.
