Amy , the blogger at 13 spools did a post on 10 Quilt Secrets and boy did it go over big . A lot of bloggers followed her lead and posted their quilt secrets too. WELL confession is good for the soul and here are my 10 Quilty Secrets.
1. I am proud to say that I only have about 12 UFO’s that I need to finish.
2 . I have in the past had my used rotary cutter blades re- sharpened.
3 . I really wanted this gadget, the Quilter’s FabriCalc that I have yet to use.
4 . I am getting better at switching out my sewing machine needles.
5 . I love shopping for new fabric if it is for a special quilt project.
6 . Sometimes I will use pretty sheets as backing for my quilts.
7. I prefer not to work with small fabrics pieces.
8 . I like the quality of Gutermann thread.
9. The part that worries me the most about my quilting is the binding, I want it perfect.
10. Since I started taking better care of my sewing machine it sews better.
Linking up with Linky Tuesday and 13 Spools
Summer will soon be a memory and Fall is right around the corner. And I am hoping for a great time this weekend at the high school class reunion.
Peace, love, and art.

I have 3 different gizmos to sharpen my rotary cutter blades and none of them work very well. So I keep cutting with dull blades-LOL
ReplyDeleteI don't know but some say running rotary blades across aluminum works!!!!
DeleteOh, I used to use sheets as backing all the time. Now I enjoy piecing my backing (or I get excited when a baby quilt is small enough to work with a regular WOF!). It is fun to see how things evolve. Good luck finishing your UFOs!
ReplyDeleteI am too enjoying piecing backs with the new techniques I learned on Craftsy. Hello to Patch.
DeleteI missed your secrets when I was reading them all, sorry!! I haven't tried to sharpen my blades, but hold onto them waaaaay too long so I have to saw at the fabric. LEeAnna at not afraid of color
