Today, we have the last part of the quilting series that weve enjoyed with Paula Doyle – Machine Tying your quilt. It’s a great idea for everyone, but if you are one of those lucky people to have a machine with lots of different stitches on it, you might like to think about using a single motive such as a flower or star – in the same way that Paula has; and think about how brilliant this would be in the centre square of a log cabin ; and then think about using a variegated thread ! How exciting could that be and possibly quicker too Watch Now+ And Val shows you her own simple way of creating mitred corners for quilts and borders with the help of an iron. (and you know how Val loves easy!!) Watch Now+ |
