I have been quilting over 20 years and I have managed to avoid triangles by making my own designs or finding patterns without them. I haven't found a triangle I can't mess up. I don't have the kind of presser foot that you can sew down each side of a center line and I bought a ruler set like yours (it came with the largest one broken, just my luck) and I still can't do it. I've always loved your projects, and, since you are so positive that a beginner can do this, at 76, I'm going to go try one more time. Wish me luck.
@sisterchicksquiltingАй бұрын
It sounds like a ruler is your best option for making perfect HST's. Any ruler will work, you can also draw the center line then lines 1/4" from the center line like my bestie does. She sews perfect HST's now, it takes her a little more time but she doesn't care and makes beautiful quilts. Thanks for watching :) !!

Great tips today. I made 3 memory throw quilts for my friends 3 children. I used fusible interfacing to stabilize the shirt fabrics, even though they are cotton or cotton blend, for stability and ease of sewing. I used my HST's to make a leaf pattern. Light shirts one side, dark shirts the other. I've also completed a family tree baby quilt using the shirt fabric from parents, grandparents, great grandparents in the center of a leaf with coordinating fabric in HST's around. HST's are a very versatile block and I find myself making them more often than not in my quilting projects.

Off topic...sorry! I didn't know who to turn to, except you. I am just setting up my new sewing room, that has room for a fair sized design wall. (yay!) I have the foam stuff up there, thanks to my daughter, but now it's up to me to get the flannel up there. I bought 2-1/2 yards of Kaffe Fassett 2" grid flannel for the wall. I was just in the midst of straightening it out and I'm not sure I am doing it right. I know it's just fabric and I could always buy most, but I don't really want to do that. (It definitely needs straightening!) Do you have any suggestions. Thank you in advance. Claudia (a sister Sister Chick.)

This video from The Fabric Patch might help. I’ve never made with the foam so I’m not sure how to. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnetamRsZbyafpIsi=_OyMchAnTuIjBFdV Here’s my design wall quilt instructions, kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJTYm3-jrrxpd80si=GQQtmXXlg09MXwWB Hope this info helps, thanks for asking😊❤️🐥

Btw, I really like the patchwork basket sitting next to the sewing machine. Do you have a tutorial on that? :)

Is it important when making the first stitching line to sew the second stitching line on the halfway triangle in the other direction?

I don’t think so, it’s just naturally the way I sew it together. If it is I’m not aware of the reason why. Thanks for asking😊❤️🐥
