Month one of Legit Kits Deep Dive

This is a condensed replay of a TikTok live where I put together the first month of the Legit Kits newest block of the month, Deep Dive

[@dawnkristie]

Hi Amy, my sister and I both signed up for the Deep Dive block of the month late last night and I found your video this morning. I’m looking forward to following along with you over the coming year. This will be my first Legit Kit project.

Please keep sharing on KZbin, I don’t have tik tok. Thank you.

Do you have a camera that shows what you are doing closer instead of overhead?

When will you be on for month 2?

What thread are you using?

How do you maintain which side is the right side of the fabric? It seems confusing with all the flipping of the paper and the pieces.

[@boozyquilter]

That is the beauty of solid fabrics and batik fabrics. There is no right and wrong side of them. I strongly recommend that your first few FPP projects are either solids or batiks. Having to worry about cutting that strange piece backwards is just not worth it, IMO

What do you put your machine length on?

[@boozyquilter]

Default on my machine is 2.4. I will drop it down to 2.0 for larger pieces. When the pieces get tiny I will drop down to 1.7 or smaller

Have you tried putting the paper under the cutting mat?

[@boozyquilter]

🤯 Why did I never think of that?? I will try that out and see how it works

[@boozyquilter]

I tried this over the weekend with disappointing results. The transparent mat blocks just enough of the light to make seeing the cutting line extremely difficult.
