For the gingham, you're right that a straight design is the more important factor. The bias cut is very pretty and will bring a change of direction visually in a very square design. You could also have cut the pieces along the gingham lines even if your straight of grain is a bit off. But I do prefer the bias.. pretty.

This is going to be so darned cute, Tracy! If you think of it at the end of the series, could you please share how much of the gingham ended up going into scraps or waste? Finding more of an older fabric might be prohibitively expensive but when buying a current FQ bundle, grabbing 1/4-1/2yd extra of just any ginghams or plaids in a collection may be worthwhile. That was a big eye opener! I use liquid starch ever since my friend whose child has COPD told me aerosol propellants make it harder for those with hindered lungs to breathe due to their effect on the environment. It’s been over a year and while I miss the convenience, the mix of liquid starch and water 50/50 in a mister bottle has saved me a lot of money and works very well. I use the cheapest liquid starch I can find and am stunned by how long a half gallon lasts. Even better, the child no longer has asthma attacks in my home so yay! That sprayer tip for when aerosols are the best option, though? Genius! Quilt name ideas: Garden of Hope, Garden Traces, Summer Garden, 4 Patch Summer, Tracy’s Patch This was the perfect video today. Your voice is so calming :)

Don't ever use spray starch when you are wearing hard contact lenses. I ended up in an emergency room after starch got under my contact lenses and scratched my corneas. I couldn't see; and, my eyes felt like they were on fire. I was blind for many hours. What I did not know was that not all the starch goes directly on to the fabric (some of it stays in the air for some time). I was warned to never wear contact lenses when I am using any product in a spray can or bottle. I don't wear contact lenses anymore.

I am fairly new to quilting, watch a lot of videos, etc., and I am just recently hearing about starching fabric before you cut it, and boy, do I wish I knew this sooner. Hardly anybody does this apparently bc I watch a ton of quilting videos and people rarely talk about it. I am making a square knot block and having the worst time matching my points. Just from the time I cut my pieces til I started assembling my blocks the fabric stretched and warped so badly. I am having to wrestle all my blocks to get the points even remotely matched up. Lesson learned. I will never make another quilt without starching my fabric first.

II think you should name this quilt Strawberry Picnic." That's what the colors remind me of.

How about calling the quilt Bright Summer Day? It's so bright and cheery.

Whats a ‘Grinchma’? Anyway, I think you’re gonna like it better if all the darks March diagonally one direction and all the lights match in the other direction. Try it and see. I think it can happen

You were absolutely right about laying them a certain way...I tried earlier today and I liked it so much better❣️ Grinchmas means like "not nice"🤷🏻♀️

This was so good I watched it twice. Did you also spray starch your backing fabric?
@TheSewingChannel Жыл бұрын
No I don't spray starch my backing fabric typically...I really only starch the fabric I need to cut up and piece together for blocks.✅ Thank you for watching 2x Barb...I appreciate the support❤️

Can you use Best Press instead of starch? I sometimes spray with Best Press and then iron my fabric before cutting.

I know a lot of people love best press. The can starch has "wax" in it...which helps it to be stiff when cooled....I am not sure if the best press is like that or not🤷🏻♀️

Have a question, why buy fat quarters for your quilts? Isn’t it more expensive than buying it by the yard?

Probably but I love having all the extra for scrap quilting🤩
