Can someone send me a video or show me a method/steps for how to do a "hidden stitch" so my fabric stamped cross stitch baby quilt, so that the stitches do not show on the back of the quilt.

I would suggest getting a permanent marker and a ruler and drawing the lines again. Before you do this test the marker on a corner of the cutting board an make sure it won't rub off.

You can even try an ink pen to see if this works better.

You might try local or not so local quilt shops for a reference to someone willing to complete your quilt.

Can anyone tell me if sheets work well to use for cutting into fabric pieces for quilting? TIA.

It depends on what fabric the sheet is made from. Most sheets are cotton or cotton blends, as are the fabrics sold specifically for quilting. You should be able to use the sheets like any other cotton fabric.

I do not quilt, but I have made clothing from sheets, and also from quilters' cottons and that has worked well. Hope this helps.

I know a lot of people that use sheets for the backing on quilts but I have never heard of anybody using them to cut the squares. However, I imagine it would work.

Yes you can use any material for quilting. The rule of thumb is try to use the same weight fabric throughout the entire quilt. I have also used them for backing. Really cheaper than buying material in this day and age. Good luck!

I don't know what a scrap making tool is, but could you be referring to a binding tool? It is used to cut angles.

Try Googling that and see if it is what you are looking for. Sorry I can't be of more help.

The easiest quilt is to just cut the fabric into whatever size squares you want to use and then sew them together, in whatever arrangement you want to use, that the colors will look good side by side. Then instead of acutal quilting, just use yarn and tie the layers together at each corner of each square.

I usually use between a 6" to a 9" square. I don't like messing with anything smaller than six inches. Also don't use fabric that is quite worn, or very thin, because those squares wear out sooner, if the quilt is used.

I used an acid free, waterproof, permanent marker to write in a quilt block. But when I went to spray starch it, the ink ran. It's already sewn into the quilt top. How do I keep it from running when it's washed? Please help.

The spray starch must have had alchohol or another solvent in it; washing in water based products should not harm it. You can test-wash a sample to be sure.

Cut fabric in squares as in block. Sew them together,make it as large as you want it, put some cotton in between two layers of cloth, then quilt it or tack it. Search for your question, good luck.

I'm going to buy a free-motion quilting foot for my Brother Low-shank sewing machine. What's better a Clear plastic foot or a metal foot? I assume the metal foot will be stronger, more durable & last longer & the plastic foot will be clear, so more easy to see projects through. Have any of you out there use both feet? And what do you recommend?

I've had two sewing machines, and with each I could only buy a specific type of foot to fit my machine. I had no say as to whether plastic or metal would be more convenient. Have you actually checked to see if both are an option for your machine?

Is so, they aren't that expensive, just try one and if you don't like it you can still buy the other.

Yes, I've already checked before I posted this.... I can buy either for my machine... The plastic one is $10 & the metal one is $20... I just want what works best!
