Marking designs onto a dark fabric.

Do you have a favoured method of transferring quilting patterns? I have a dark sashing and I am finding it difficult to transfer on to it.   Answer: Yes dark colours are always a challenge;   I do mention some options in the video Quilting Your Quilt

and it depends a little on how complex the pattern is;  if its a real stencil pattern then I would use Quilt-and-Tear  but if its a simple pattern try the Hera marker (or scoring with the back of your scissors)

Fusible Wadding

I have purchased fusible wadding for a wall hanging made yesterday, but it came off a roll and there were no instructions.  Do I just layer up with my project back and front and iron on?   Answer: I seem to recall that a good press will adhere the wadding BUT a gentle iron will add to the fusion; so see what works!

Rotary cutters

I was wondering if you could tell me which rotary cutters Jennie used in the fabric balls video?  My cutter needs replacing and I fancy one of the safety ones which become safe when raising the cutter from the fabric. Answer: I think Jennie was using the Trucut range of rotary cutter which has a groove in it and is best used with its own ruler;  however Olfa do both sizes 28mm and 45mm cuttter with a self-closing system, and these are readily available from quilt shops (but if in doubt you can contact Isa@creativequilting.co.uk) Want to see the Fabric Balls video?  click here:

How to Use a walking foot

Val:  Wendy Gardiner, editor of Sewing World, talks us through how to fit and use this very usefull sewing foot.   In fact if she had to purchase just one additional foot for her machine this would be it - and I agree;  it makes a HUGE difference to the quality of work whenever you have wadding in and now with the opentoed versions available you can combine it with your decorative stitches and threads too.
