Block of the Month 2017 / Re: Block of the Month - October
« on: October 26, 2017, 08:54:27 AM »All those off grain cuts
I'm glad I didn't attempt it then, I have never ever taken any notice of the grain in fabric
One of the many reasons I could never attempt to make clothes

I'm amazed at tights falling down as I have always worn an extra pair of knickers over mine

All the blocks are magnificent.It's not a block I'm actually fond of personally, which is probably just as well as I'd never get the hang of something so fiddly. Bravo to you all

Yes Sewbee, it's like chat on Facebook, a quick way of having a private interactive chat, without the wait often necessary with pms as both people are on line

Patchwork & Quilting ... Welcome to the Darkside / Re: Necessary quilting tools

I like Creative Grid rulers too.
Brenda is right.... I hand quilt and began with straight lines ( 24" x 6" ruler again ) I now have a few basic plastic templates which allow me to do even curves, petals etc. I do Big Stitch Quilting, so I also need perle ( no8 ) thread and a longer needle than is usual.

Hexagons are mainly used in hand sewn patchwork, using papers. For machine patchwork you need a ruler, rotary cutter, self heal mat and a machine. Start with squares and rectangles until you get the hang of piecing. Try to get a 1/4 seam and away you go. Look at the tutorials, BOMs and ask any questions you might have.... and... enjoy
