Thank you so much for this. I've been interested in crazy quilting for several years now, and have made some squares that are silk and velvet little pieces, and then I want to embellish them too. I never knew about pressing down the edges first. I would just iron the pieces. This would make such clean edges and with stitching by hand, it's all easier to control. I want to incorporate some of my Mom's treasures too. That's a lovely thought. I just had to sub to you. What you're doing is right up my alley!! I'm going to start out with a wall hanging first. That's not so overwhelming!
Thanks for sharing your projects. Here in Argentina very little is known about patchwork. This technique is much fun to do! I love the idea of keeping my mom's embroidery in my tablecloths!❤
Since the heritage fabrics are older and tend to break down, what do you feel about backing them with a fusible stabilizer prior to using them in a quilt?
Since there is the foundation fabric, I don't use a stabilizer, but if you feel the need for extra strength, a fusible backing may be something to consider.
So pretty! What a beautiful way to place vintage pieces into your work! So happy I found your channel!
Thanks so much for these four videos. Its amazing to see this done by hand which was exactly what I was looking for.
Beautiful work and all hand stitched thank you.
