Every Wednesday after a video is released on KZbin, we do a live Q&A session, at 3 PM ET. I may also take the opportunity to discuss something in the video in more detail or maybe something I realize I didn’t talk about in the video. Some of the quilting cherubs share their own insight on the topic with others too!! Come and check it out!
You can also join our community group, “HALO’s Creative Kingdom” ( / 795507740874535 . This is a wonderful, supportive group of quilting cherubs. We have a HALO’s Happy Hour in the community that meets with me and other quilting cherubs, live, usually once a month. We hope to see YOU in there!
May you continue to be inspired, productive, and joyful! And may you never stop making your dreams in quilting come true!

I use a sister method, fusible webbing strips which offers more cost effectiveness with no loss in utility. I prefer it to spray and to glue basting. I also use my design wall as it works well with gravity to help me keep everything square and straight. Either method allows you to really flatten your quilt with the help fo your iron. Once I went to this method, I've never gone back. Quilt basting really used to be the most dreaded chore; now it is so much easier. Parchment paper works great. I use teflon coated fiberglass mats which work great, and really transfer the heat. They make the best pressing blocks (and can be cut down), and ensures no shine on pressed, raised edges. Thank you for demonstrating your products and methods!
