You used regular printing paper for your back? Do you remove it? I want to attempt this and need a cheap solution...printer paper sounds cheap enough :) So if you can email me and let me know that would be great. wewouldratherbequilting@gmail.com Thanks!

roseann...

you aren't being a pain at all.
:)

another starch would be fine. magic sizing is just my starch of choice.

now about the quilt basting spray...i get mine from joann's. or pat catan's.
if your walmart is a walmart that still carries sewing supplies, you should be able to get the june tailor quilt basting spray there.

hope this helps.

penny...

you'd want to use a foundation because strips tend to get a bit stretchy when you sew them together.
have you ever noticed once you sew about 4-7 strips together the middle starts to bow a little bit???
well you can keep this from happening by reversing the strips when you sew them.
OR
use a foundation like muslin or paper.

i chose to use paper because it was removable.
PLUS i didn't want the extra bulk around when it came time to quilt.

hope this helps.

2009-05-18T15:46:00.000-04:00

thanks for this post Rachel! Ok, so i have some questions though. Why do you sew these down to paper? why not just sew them together and cut to size?
