I'm still here!

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".

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?
