I think you need it is very good job. many beautiful quilts to choose from.
Wow! What wonderful works. The decision isn’t easy
Hi! I know that is not related to this topic, but I read about the Saral transfer paper and your tests. I am DESPERATE to find out if you actually used the Saral transfer paper on a REAL quilt, quilted it AND it came off!
Or do you know if any of your followers/winners used it, quilted over it AND it came out?
I thought this was going to be the end of all my problems, but in my tests I have a MESS and am afraid to continue as this is not my quilt.
Hoping you (or someone else) see this and respond with your experience.
Thanks,
Robin (quilting a top for a friend who made it for her granddaughter)
Hi Robin,
Most of my quilting is free motion or straight lines, so I haven’t marked quilting lines with Saral yet. I have used it for applique placement and didn’t have any problems. What problems have you run into?
Cheers,
Michele
Thank you all SO very much for voting for my quilt, Puerto Colombia! What a thrill and honor it is to have won.
Create your life,
annie!
