Elenor Burns always tears to find the straight of grain! She lets the threads fly!

Thank you for the information. Could the talking be kept to a minimum and just stick to the important information.

Just a hint with directional fabrics they should be sewn all facing the same direction that way after you cut them there not all the same so when you put it back together there not going to be upside down unless you don't care how they go

@jeannem6723 6 ай бұрын

As an added bonus, that tear is on the STRAIGHT grain of the fabric, much, much better than the most careful cutting!

If I have a 6 yard piece of fabric do I cut it in half? Then do this way? It needs to be 89x75 so I anticipate to make sure it wide enough?

How about Batik's? I've starched them and had a lot of sticking when ironing. Should I wash them and then starch them?

@brendamathewshikes8381 11 ай бұрын

This would work good if you are using 2 different fabrics in the back making a stripe/block sort of look.

That is exactly what I do , a pin thru both layers at the seam and needle down next to the pin - stitch forward to end of seam and reverse thru the same point for the same distance.

Faultless and Niagra are my favorites. My sister taught me the starch trick before I started on my first top and almost every point was on point! She also taught me about the school glue to glue baste the points and seam allowances so they didn't move during stitching which was also a great help with precision.

I saw another few videos on starching and they just spray the fabric with the starch and then they air dry it for a day. No ironing to get it dry so a huge time saver

@marym2811 11 ай бұрын

You probably realize that they do iron the fabric, it's just ironed after it has air dried.

@susanpaulo2605 2 жыл бұрын

Could you use parchment paper over the fabric while pressing, so it won't stick to the iron?

@sarahdebord5548 2 жыл бұрын

Use a pressing cloth should help.

@janetmartin7719 2 жыл бұрын

This keeps your fabric running in the same direction, but this doesn’t match the print.

@shelleyvanhouten27 2 жыл бұрын

I have a layer cake of Robert Kaufman’s fabric, Painterly Petals. There are only 2 of each same fabrics, but lots of variety. I’d like to add white for high contrast, and yellow fabric for the middles. Actually I’d like this quilt for my King size bed. So, I will make it like yours but bigger. Do you think I can use the 10” squares? I might have to square them up smaller later anyway, because I’m still learning. Will more variety in the outside squares be a concern?? Please and thank you. 😉😊

What she says about tearing doesn't make sense. The straight of grain runs selvage to selvage. Years ago when I was cutting fabric in the fabric department we didn't use scissors to cut cotton fabric. We made a nick in the selvage and torn it. And in 4-H sewing we were taught in order to put the fabric on the straight of grain to nick the edge and tear it.

@HeavenlyStitches 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Pat, I appreciate that you've got lots of experience. We do tear fabric in our fabric store as well (on our widebacks only. They're just too unwieldy to cut straight otherwise ). There are actually two directions of straight grain, across the width of fabric and also the length of fabric. Otherwise these are known as the warp and weft of the fabric. So, you're correct that straight grain goes selvage to selvage, but it also goes length of fabric as well. In our experiences in our shop, fabric tears more reliably length of fabric than it does across the width. I'm not entirely sure why this happens, but it does. This is why we recommend tearing the fabric in this Tube and Tear method.

@patl869 3 жыл бұрын

@@HeavenlyStitches Thanks, I appreciate the response. I've never torn fabric that direction. I will certainly give it a try as I do like the way the two seams look on the back of a quilt rather than one seam in the middle. Sewing the tube and tearing sounds a lot easier than folding a length in half and running the scissors up the fold and hoping for a straight cut.

@sunseekerrs3087 3 жыл бұрын

Will starch shrink fabric? I was hesitant to use it on precuts because I’d heard it would cause shrinkage.

@yazminprado4453 Жыл бұрын

It will shrink fabric. If I don't need all the inches from precuts, I will starch, otherwise I would buy yardage and cut down.

Another question I am using a jelly roll 2.5” strips to make a quilt as you go christmas stocking and it says to starch the strips before cutting. So do spray them damp, let dry, then iron them and then cut?

@HeavenlyStitches 4 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure which pattern you're using, but that should work. They don't need to be bone dry before you start ironing, but be careful not to press and slide your iron. If you do that you can distort your fabrics (which is the exact opposite thing we want when starching). Just pick up your iron slightly before moving it and you should be fine.

Thank you for the video. That will save time. One question: How do you use this method if you quilt is more than 86 inches?

@HeavenlyStitches 3 жыл бұрын

Generally, you wouldn't need to use this is if your quilt is bigger than 86 inches. You would need to use another width of fabric.
