What will you be working on this week???
My week is all mixed up so I found myself at home today and took time to work on some blocks that were sitting there looking sad and neglected... waiting to be finished.
These are for Double Cross. I really like this one and can't wait to see it finished.
Yes, this is one of my designs but I've only seen it in electronic fabrics. I did test the blocks with scraps and really liked them but I don't receive the actual fabric until after it has been shipped to the stores. I started this quite a while ago and it's been looking lonely lately so I spent some time with it today.
I love to use invisible thread for applique... I can hear the groans now.
There are a couple of simple things that you can do to make it work just fine and learn to love this very useful notion too.
First: The spool must be standing vertically not laying down. If you use it laying down, it will twist as it comes off the spool and give you a migraine.
Second: Only use it on top or in the bobbin BUT NOT BOTH. It will stretch on itself. Use your regular thread with it.
Third: Adjust your tension. When I use it, my tension is almost at "0". Do some simple tests as you adjust until you find that your bobbin thread doesn't show on top.
WARNING: Remember to re-adjust your tension when you go back to sewing seams or you will be doing what I had to do.... re-sew them all.
I managed to get them all together except for the center circles.They are all ready to be sewn on but will have to wait for another day.
Enjoy the quilty weather....
