Quilting Technique Discussions One of the things you have to remember is if you fold the fabric you need to fold it OPPOSITE corner to corner then cut on the diagonal. Also, I found I needed a large cutting surface. I know I kept using a piece of 8 1/2 X 11 inch piece of paper until I got it right. I find it easier to just do a straight line piece. It does take more fabric depending on the width of the quilt top and backing fabric, but much easier......

Use a rotary cutter, mat and ruler to cut off the zig zag points.... and your quilt top is finished! The quilt top should measure approximately 46 x 61. Baste, quilt, bind and wash.

- At this point, some people like to cut along the traced line and sew their bias binding onto the curved edges. Others argue that it is easier to sew the bias binding to the quilt before cutting off the excess border fabric. This is done by lining the raw edges up to the marked scalloped line. The excess fabric is cut away after the binding is sewn completely onto the quilt. Photo Credit: Gone Aussie Quilting.

What can a precut make? 2 – Queen quilt. A quilt made from a fat quarter bundle all depends on the size of the bundle. One bundle can make anything from a full size quilt to a king size quilt.

Internal Server Error Because my seam is 1/8 wider, I have a very nice full binding when I turn the binding to the back of the quilt to stitch down. Stop sewing 1/4 from the first corner; backstitch. Remove the needle from the quilt and cut the threads. Fold the binding up, then back down even with edge of the quilt. Begin stitching at the edge of next side, backstitch to secure and continue sewing. Repeat at all corners. Stop sewing about 6 to 8 from where the binding strip started on the first side.

Separate the tails, and tie one tail from the front and one tail from the back together in a double knot.

It is almost always discarded or hidden in the final product.he selvage edge can refer to either the unfinished edges of woven fabric, or the uncut, tightly-woven right and left edges on fabric as it leaves a loom.

7 Rules For Stabilizing - When, How, Why? Stable woven fabrics usually work well with tear-away embroidery stabilizer because, when you tear away the excess stabilizer, the fabric that is stable won't stretch or become deformed. And it is a pleasure to use tear-away embroidery stabilizer when possible, because when it is removed, the back side of the embroidery looks better than after using cutaway (less backing edges can be seen).
