from Andrea Lucia of Longmeadow, MA
If you have a bag filled with tiny, tiny scraps but don't have the heart to trash it all--fill a old pillowcase 3/4 full of scraps and sew the pillowcase closed and give it to your local pet shelter for those homeless animals to sleep on! |
from Gail Richardson of Port Dover, Ontario, Canada
I recycle blank DVD containers (50 or 100-count size) in various ways: First the lid turned over makes a great catch-all for scissors, rotary cutters, markers, etc. Second the plastic disc in each container is a perfect template for yo-yo's, or circles for any project. Third, the spindle that holds the discs is a great thread holder for the larger cones that don't fit on the sewing machine. |
from Francine Shea of Middleport, NY
To make a quantity of fusible fabric strips (great for appliqué, art quilts, etc), I cut rectangles (on grain or on bias as needed), then fuse on paper-backed fusible web. I then feed the piece through my paper shredder, resulting in cut fabric strips with the fusible web already applied to them. Then, just remove backing paper of strip and iron on as needed! |

We have had so many great tips from our quilting friends, we had to create an archive for them! Each month, you’ll find the latest tips on this page.
