You are an inspiration Mo as you always have a new project on the go! As one of your local Cornish friends I am lucky enough to see & admire each & every one of your creations as they are completed, before they reach their recipients!

Lovely to read more about you Mo. I love your Postcards from Sewden quilt and the idea of a mini made concurrently is genius!!

Love your intro and quilts, especially Postcards from Sweden. I’ve popped that into my basket a few times. Just never got around to paying or it. 🙂

Thank you, you should get it. It is not a quick thing to do and you have to use a lot of sticky labels, but well worth the effort.

Carolyn Gibbs wrote a new post, Basic Rotary Cutting 8 years, 5 months ago
Using a rotary cutter is a great way of accurately cutting fabric pieces of the shape and size required. It doesn’t take long to learn how to use it – a few tips and a little practice will soon have you cutting wit…

Brilliant Carolyn! I use a Rotary cutter all the time and love it. However, I find it sometime moves when I get to near the end of the cut. I have bought a suction handle thingy that clamps on the longest ruler and that has solved it. Thanks for the info.
-
Glad you have found something that works for you.
-
-
A nice, fairly comprehensive guide. The only thing I could add is to watch the sneaktpy rulers which have an extra 1/2” on two sides.
-
I agree! I really wish manufacturers wouldn’t make them – so confusing!
-
-
Very clear instructions. Thank you very much.

Thank you Sue – glad to help

Thanks Carolyn. That’s really helpful especially about matching lines.

Glad to help Helen – I love using stripes, and will be writing more about this in my blog from time to time – maybe you would like to “follow” me to make sure that you don’t miss anything!

I will be trying the mitred corners, it looks far easier than how I’ve been trying to do them.
-
That’s great, Gwen. Let me know how you got on!
-
-
Never tackled mitred corners but they look so neat I am going to give it a go. Thanks Carolyn.
-
They do look so classy, don’t they? Hope it works for you!
-
-
Helpful! I wonder if it would eliminate those wavy quilts?
-
Do you mean wavy edges caused by borders of different lengths? Yes, it might do! Although my tip about this is to run a machine tacking stitch along the very edge before adding the binding, and to pull up slightly until it hangs straight – you might like to try that too.

A common problem when sewing fine fabrics or small pieces together is that your machine seems to want to ‘eat’ them. Here’s one way of overcoming that issue.
Simply place a small piece of paper under the fabri…
