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.
The number of fat quarters needed for various quilts will depend on the finished size, but even more importantly on the type of block chosen. Complex blocks may require more fabric as there may be more waste. Save scraps for future projects. This page provides some estimates and sources for determining the amount of fabric needed.
Cutting mats develop scratches and rough spots over time as they are used. Refreshing a cutting mat surface may be possible with some light sanding.
Even if you don't have a quilting frame it is easy to tie your quilt. One method is to lay the layers on the floor and pin or baste them together and then tie.
What can I use to redo the lines on my quilter's cutting mat? They are very faded in some places.

I have looked for this pattern, even on amazon.ca, but so far no luck. Does any one know where to find one?

This is a page about cutting fabric straight with scissors. Cutting a straight line, using scissors, when working with fabric is not always that easy.
I have bags of clothing (stained or ripped) that I want to make a simple quilt with. Can anyone tell me the easiest pattern for a beginner? I also have about 40 pairs of jeans.

Each year, our family honors my grandmother who was a great seamstress and quilter by having a gathering we call the Barnhouse Bees. Every time we meet, we choose a theme for the following yearly bee.
A lap quilt made with scrap strips of fabric with round corners. After piecing the quilt center, I made a 4 inch border by sewing together many small coordinating fabrics.
I am looking for an angel of the month quilting pattern, appliqued. It was produced by Bee Creative, but it is out of print now. Anyone have anything? Thanks.

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.
