UFOQAL2018 - Choose Your UFO Your Choice Quilt Along

Pull out those UFOs and join us for the Choose Your UFO Quilt Along! (#UFOQAL2017).

Last week, we talked all about basting your quilt.

This week, we move on to thing that scares quilters more than anything else: QUILTING.

There are lots of ways to quilt. You can quilt as you go, straight line quilt, free motion quilt, or send your quilt off to a quilter. There are tons of free tutorials online.

Here are a few of our favorites.

Quilt as You Go

Straight Line Quilting with a Walking Foot

Free Motion Quilting on a Home Machine (this is one in a series!)

Using a Flynn Quilting System

Quilting using a home sewing machine on a Grace Frame

Metroid Charts - Samus & Metroid

Samus & Metroid Charts to Chain Piece Jennifer Ofenstein Size varies based on size of patches used.

Please note, this is NOT a pattern for the entire quilt. These are charts to piece the two characters seen here with some additional suggestions and information. You can use this to make something similar to this quilt or use the charts for your own creations.
Keep scrolling for helpful hints and my homemade spray starch recipe!

Helpful Hints from Jennifer

Pre-cut your fabric squares to save time.

I like to print my chart and then break it into smaller chunks so that I don’t get overwhelmed.

I start from the left and work my way across, marking off what I’ve done as I go so I don’t get lost.

Chain piecing is EVERYTHING.

I chain piece from the top down, keeping the threads between the rows intact so that nothing will be out of place. When the rows are together, go back and sew together the horizontal seams, matching seams.

Use my homemade spray starch for a smooth, flat finish. I find this especially useful when working with solids. Recipe adapted from one shared years ago by my friend Linda.

• 1/4 cup liquid starch
• 2 oz plain/non-flavored vodka (If you don’t have vodka and don’t want a whole bottle, a sample size bottle works great!)
• 10 – 12 drops of lavender
• approximately 3.5 cups of distilled water in a 32 oz spray bottle

UFOQAL2018 - Choose Your UFO Your Choice Quilt Along

Pull out those UFOs and join us for the Choose Your UFO Quilt Along! (#UFOQAL2017).

Today, we're sharing different ways to baste your quilts!

If you're planning to quilt your own projects and you'll most likely find yourself needing to baste!

There are a lot of methods out there to make it easier. Here are a few of our favorites:

A basting technique that uses foam insulation or pool noodles.

This method is similar, but uses boards instead. Read more about this method on Right Sides together.

Basting with Straight Pins. Yeah, really!

Basting on the floor with safety pins.

Last but not least, spray basting your quilt!

How do you baste your quilts? We'd love to know!
