That would be great to hang over the arm of the chair in the evenings, hopefully I’ll then walk around with less thread hanging from my clothes and most of it on one of these. Also to keep one in my bag for back and forth to groups. The smallest of things………………………………………Thanks Sue.

I saw these wraps on line many moons ago and purchased my beeswax months ago ready to have a go and I have only just found the time to have a dabble.
I had a quick look on line at how people have been doing this…

I also wrap presents in fat quarters for those stitching friends and finish off with either selvages or ribbon, therefore nothing gets thrown away! Like you I think everyone knows to do this! Great to put it into writing for those who have yet to discover this wrapping method!

Our local tv shop (a friend) was celebrating a particular anniversary for his shop and he had a few bits from my group for display in his window. It was a one off never even gave it a thought to do in many windows!! A great idea for others those to follow.

I so love the idea that this exhibition took with using various shop windows to display the work. Great that you enjoyed it, only wish I lived closer to have gone along to ogle at all the hard work on display.

I love this method of quilting and it does become easier the more you do and an eye opener at just how much you improve overtime. A great video for those looking for a demonstration.

What great idea! I keep thinking I would make one using one of the hoops I have. Have made pottery clocks at ‘Classes’ but this is a great idea for my sewing room. Thank You Sharon

What a fantastic idea instead of using cling film etc. A very cost effective way of using up scraps of material. I think these could be made and given as part of a present. Great write up with clear instructions.

These are fantastic! Thank for taking the time to write a tutorial. Do you need to overlock the raw edges of the fabric? Would they be washable?
Thanks
7 years, 10 months ago
No need to overlock as the wax holds everything in place, although I think next time I shall use my wavy edge cutter to alleviate the initial fraying from cutting to making. All advise I’ve seen on washing is a warm wash or wipe over with a damp cloth. You just need to ensure the water is not hot enough to melt the wax. Doing them stacked on top of each other was a great stumble on making, you just have to work fast to separate and get onto a flat surface but the great thing is once they harden put back in oven for a minute or two. Such a quick and easy make, let me know how you get on and thank you for your post here.

Hi Sharon, thank you for this. Would you say that a dessert spoon of pellets would be enough for one 12 1/2” square? If not, roughly how much would you recommend ?
7 years, 8 months ago
Morning Anne, hard to judge, I really didn’t use many. A dessert spoon I think will be plenty, just have some extra fabric at the ready to cut up and use just in case you find it is too much. Would be interesting to hear how you get on with that amount. A tip from using ours, after using a fair amount both mine and his through the summer, they are now ready to have another coating, I think where they are used daily and wipe/dunked in water they are no longer at their best. It’s time now to freshen them up and get back to good condition. The other two that haven’t been used so much are still fine and do the job.

Thank you Sharon, haven’t tried this yet as not sure when I will be using them, but it’s good to know x
