I use a smaller stitch length. I save my 'tearing' out for when we have company with kids. 6-11 yr olds LOVE getting to take the paper off. I have even taken several quilts worth to church picnics and let the kids help me. Good luck to all who add this to their TO-DO list for 2010- These can be pretty neat quilts to make and share. cherylCheryl Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11381571396901353377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4261214266496624055.post-3931293413389700172009-12-29T02:01:44.898-05:002009-12-29T02:01:44.898-05:00Stacey-I lllooovvveee the idea of making the small...Stacey-I lllooovvveee the idea of making the small 6 in block! They are so cute! I am used to the traditional Heartstrings size of 9.5" I will have to try this! 2 questions: Why don't you use muslin foundations, and Why do you take the foundation out before trimming-aren't you concerned about distortion? <br />emali me at maryhopkins30@yahoo.com if you like.mkhquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663281552484803679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4261214266496624055.post-40747880705339395652009-12-28T21:38:45.277-05:002009-12-28T21:38:45.277-05:00Great tutorial for wonderful string quilts.
Per...Great tutorial for wonderful string quilts. <br /><br />Personally, I hate to tear out paper and now I use any 'ugly' fabric that I have for the foundation, usually using the wrong side of the ugly fabric to sew the strips down. Works great and NO having to tear off paper, yay.<br /><br />warm quilt hugs, sue in CAfabricpixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16778771401322584655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4261214266496624055.post-31213477345059734162009-12-28T21:12:16.823-05:002009-12-28T21:12:16.823-05:00WOW, Stacey!
