Novembers BOM - Final Assembly and Big Reveal
« on: November 01, 2020, 11:30:08 AM »
And its the final countdown ....

Hopefully you have your chosen Blocks layered and quilted and ready to go ...  unlike me!

Im going to direct you to the far end of THIS TUTORIAL  if your fairly confident and raring to go.

If I can advise TWO things....

Before starting to attach your rows/columns together ....

CLEAN under the needle plate of your machine and CHANGE the needle ...
If your machine is going to start skipping stitches this,
with all the multiple layers of fabric and wadding, will be the time it does it!

When joining your LONG columns of blocks together .....

Try and match the horizontal joining strips as well as you can
You can do this by pinning and then stitching, with a fairly long Stitch length,
over just the intersections that need to match.

If they match well, Great!!!
Carry on stitching along the length of the columns,
Remembering to change your stitch length to a smaller piecing length. 

If they're too off for your liking you can unpick and try again.

* * *

I will by the end of this week (8th November) have the final tut for you,
please bear with me, last month was a bit of a washout.

I will be watching, but I am, unfortunately waaaaaaay behind. the last few months have been murderous, and it looks as if things can only get worse. I would like to think I will be able to finish my quilt, but I doubt very much it will be this year. :(
Thanks to COVID, and despite fighting desperately, and working our butts off, it looks as if we will lose our business. Five years on and it will all be lost. Sad and bitter. Oh well, I will try to finish BOM but can't promise.
If you see me with a seam ripper, now is not a good time

That is really nice @supergran I love the very narrow sashing.  I am not a fan of wide sashing but that narrow it looks really good.  All that beautiful quilting too.  I just love it! :)
