I must admit.
I haven't got a single panel ready yet,
but it doesn't mean, that I'm not working on this lovely projekt!
Lots of blocks just waiting for panels!
Yesterday I decided to start using my sewing machine for this projekt too.
For a nice beginning I made the three small blocks for det "Sewing Block".
For a nice beginning I made the three small blocks for det "Sewing Block".
I then decided to make a small tutorial to show you all,
how I made the blocks ready for appliqué easely.
When I had my blocks all made up, I did like this...
First I made a line of stitches 1/4" away from the edge using a stitch lenght 3.
Just like this.
Then I folded the fabris right at the stitches - nice and easy.
Finally I gave it a nice firm press using starch.
Remember to press from the front - you have to be able to see, what you are doing!
(Don´t ask me how I know!!!)
Remove the stitches.
Thats it!
Now I'm ready to use a bit of Roxanne Glue-Baste-It and appliqué my blocks in place!
Maybe tonight in front of the telly?
If there is something You don't understand, I'm sure google translat is to blame... or not?
