Quilting Crafty Tip If you need to piece together a quilt back, I recommend you leave the selvages on until piecing is done. Pin your fabrics together along the selvage, right sides together. Sew your seam 1/4" away from the edge of the printing (your seam allowance may be up to 1" wide), then go back and trim off the excess fabric after your seam is sewn. This way your fabric is stable while you're sewing, and you're guaranteed that none of the selvage will show up on your quilt back. Also, be sure to backstitch at the beginning and end of your line of stitching so your backing doesn't fall apart as you're quilting!

Quilting Crafty Tip In an interview one old-time quilter recalled how she cut a pattern. First she cut the pieces out of newspaper and then traced and the pattern pieces onto sandpaper. By using pattern pieces cut from fine sandpaper, they don't slide on the fabric.

Quilting Crafty Tip For those of you who have cut and pieced quilt blocks since childhood, I would recommend exchanging patterns and ideas on how to put together different designs with others. It will help to grow your library of patterns and, hopefully, help you brainstorm on new and innovative patterns. Additionally, trading fabric with others will allow you to get those hard to find materials to make your quilt perfect!

Quilting Crafty Tip To make a nice crisp edge around round applique pieces, cut out a cardboard guide that is 1/4 inch smaller than your fabric pieces. Sew a running stitch around the piece 1/8 from the edge of the fabric. Lay the cardboard on the wrong side of the fabric and pull the running stitch to make the fabric gather around the cardboard. Iron the seam. Remove the cardboard and sew your applique piece to your quilt.
