I caught up with Dear Fi yesterday (with Nichola and Justine.. thought of you) and she was hand quilting something that she had used a spray from Spotlight (can't remember what the stuff is called, but I remember reading about it before on an American quilting blog) that you can use instead of pins to baste it all together. Very clever. a bit stiff but it washes out. <BR/>Re batting options, if you're hand quilting I'd steer clear of anything other than batting, because it's too hard to sew through. I'd avoid the waffle weave as well, for textural issues, but I'm sure a few layers of flanelette or even a lofty wool blanket would work well.Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17212194867622082703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934650872488497595.post-89579361843183247062008-09-19T13:53:00.000+10:002008-09-19T13:53:00.000+10:00Catching up on old blog entries... made me laugh t...Catching up on old blog entries... made me laugh to read about Omnigrid being in inches because I just recently had Jessica special order an Omnigrid with centimeter markings for me so I can make things from my Japanese quilt books! I don't know much about using something other than, uh, batting for the batting, but let me know what you come up with!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
