I'll answer your questions...I use a h...Paula! I'll answer your questions...I use a homemade version of Best Press and it has starch in it. I like to sew crisp fabrics! I try to remember to take pictures of all my work, but occasionally I forget. I sometimes I wait, I sometimes don't. (How's that for a definitive answer?! LOL!) Typically I label my finished quilts. Especially if they're leaving my home. I use Dual Duty thread for piecing. I quilt most all my own quilts and either by hand or by my sewing machine. The bunk room won't fit a long arm. BOO! I like to work in both ... but lean towards brighter colors, I'd guess!!! :)Denise :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07306906507013593208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134117747360570738.post-15549261073637453182013-01-10T18:31:32.757-08:002013-01-10T18:31:32.757-08:00I don't have a single answer to a single quest...I don't have a single answer to a single question!! Not being a quilter I am clueless. I just popped in to say hi, and ask where are you traveling to?Muffy's Markshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13826630430126318583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134117747360570738.post-53803848043403146192013-01-10T15:43:03.873-08:002013-01-10T15:43:03.873-08:00Hi Paula...I am visiting via Stitchin by the Lake....Hi Paula...I am visiting via Stitchin by the Lake. I didn't make it down the whole list last night so I am back again and starting here. Wow! Lots of questions. Let me see. Do I starch? You know...the first class I took had us starch after washing and before cutting...then once I stopped washing first, well I stopped starching. But recently I have started starching on a "it depends" basis. Like it depends if the fabric is behaving...if it isn't...starch. I lay out my blocks...and sometimes I take pictures here so I have a reference when I start to stitch them together. I think I have labeled most of the quilts that I have done especially the ones that I have given away. I try to take pictures of the finished quilts but I need to be better about it. The quilting part of the quilt isn't my favorite part...I like to piece but quilting not so much. If it is a large quilt I have a lady that quilts them for me. Smaller ones I do simple stuff. And I quilt on my machine...maybe if I had a long arm quilter I would like it better. Primary or pastels...it depends. Thread...I am using Auriful right now. Hope you have more visitors...this could really be a great conversation.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00953219414327571984noreply@blogger.com
