Patchwork Tips

Quilting Tips and Sayings

Always buy more fabric than you need - remember 'She who dies with the most fabric wins!'
Never run with sharp pointy objects like scissors, pins or rotary cutters.
If you cut yourself, make sure you don't bleed on the fabric!
The newer the fabric the more irresistible it is to the cat!
Your bobbin will always run out with only 3 inches left to sew.
Cut your binding 2 1/2 inches wide - 3 inches for flannels.
Make sure your quilt backing and wadding is 4 inches larger all around than your quilt top, prior to quilting.
When ironing a bias strip turn off the steam on the iron so you don't burn your fingers.
Those who sleep under a patchwork quilt are sleeping under a blanket of love.
Try to schedule 15mins sewing time a day - remember 'If Mama ain't happy - nobody's happy'.
Multi-task (only women can do this). You can cook dinner and listen to a child read; you can cut out while supervising homework; you can hand sew while waiting at the doctors, dentist, training etc.
Never use your sewing scissors for cutting paper; it blunts them.
Always 'square up' your quilt prior to adding borders.
Join binding strips on the diagonal for reduced bulk.
