Welcome to Quilt Connection!

 “Where friendships are built, one quilt at a time.”

 

Did you know the eye of a needle is made from a punch? If you can’t thread it one way, rotate the needle all the way around and thread from the other side.  It works every time.

When machine or hand quilting, start in the middle and work your way out and down to prevent puckering, don’t jump around when quilting to avoid puckering

Use a walking foot when straight stitch quilting and a darning or hopping foot for free motion quilting.

Need to know

 

When starting a new quilt be sure to use the same brand of rulers throughout the cutting process to ensure correct measurements.  Not all rulers measure the same.

Don’t have a quarter inch foot!!! Not to worry.  A band aid, a couple of stacks of masking tape or a piece of Dr Scholl’s mole spore works great.
