New here…I’ve never done a backing before. I don’t have any idea how this differs from other methods. I tend to be dyslexic do things backwards and mess it up. I have a long 3.5 yd or so long piece of flannel. Am I folding selvage to selvage, stitching those sides together? Should I prewash/shrink my huge piece of flannel before or after you put it together. Any additional advice appreciated!
@@HeidiKaisand I was told to prewash/preshrunk flannel when it’s a backing for cotton as they shrink differently so I’ve since done it but 4 months later I’m still frozen in fear of actually piecing the backing!

This is brilliant! And her smile at the end was just adorable. ☺️
I am a beginner quilter and tried this. It worked perfectly. I love it!!!! Thank you for sharing your expertise!
Very clever! Thanks for the excellent tute.
Glad you enjoyed.
Are you sewing the selvage edges together?
yes!

Yes, sew your selvage edges together.
And, I do not prewash fabrics!

But what does it measure?
