That's always so devastating. :( I read your post the other day about the QR on your quilt labels and I love the idea but we only have a laser printer and I have yet to find a way to print onto fabric with it. The best tip I've learned this past year that I can pass along to you - spray starch is your friend. Specifically Mary Ellen's Best Press. That stuff is amazing and really helps in accurate piecing. My other advice - change your needles more often than you think necessary. It really makes a difference.Diana Mattoninoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579891004443930496.post-60820317758734337882014-06-14T10:10:43.808-04:002014-06-14T10:10:43.808-04:00I love "usable art!"

I think another great tip is making sure you get the right seam allowance to get correct finished sizes if you plan on communal sewing (bees, round robins) so that all the blocks can 'play nice'. Jealous of all your travels, I think this year I'll be heading to S.A. as well. Hopefully I, my sister, and my mother, will travel to Peru and see Machu Pichu!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17592893947403483583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579891004443930496.post-46775598641381010322014-06-12T09:14:22.939-04:002014-06-12T09:14:22.939-04:00Fantastic intro post Marcia :) I'm so sorry t...Fantastic intro post Marcia :) I'm so sorry to hear of your fur baby passing.

Just because an "expert" does things a certain way doesn't mean it's the ONLY way. :-) <br />I'm STILL guilty of not labeling, even after vowing to change that.
