The Quilting Notions You Have Today
I was talking the other day with a friend who just started quilting as a hobby. If things work out, maybe she will even go in for a cottage micro-entrepreneurship online. In the meantime she was educating herself on the different quilting notions available in the market.
Her great grandmother was master quilter, quite famous in her time (it seems she was booked sometimes six months to one year in advance for quilt making by the then-aristocracy). However, other than a legacy of know-how and some splendid patterns and closely guarded trade secrets, she left no explanations about this art.
The Net Is The Best Teacher: Checking Out The Quilting Notions
I have a great deal of confidence on the Internet. Hence, instead of looking here and there for advice and explanation, we run a search on the Net and came up with a carload of articles which gave in depth description of the many quilting notions available in the market today. I am not at liberty to elaborate too much in the present article, hence I will just touch the highlights of four most popular ones that we stumbled upon during our search.
Maybe these quilting notions are not the best; and maybe these are not the most popular either. However, these will be enough to give a surface idea of what we are talking about here. In case you need a more in-depth analysis you might also go the Net and seek your answers on whatever quilting notions you need elaboration on.
Basing spray is nicknamed as one of the most popular choices available, this is preferred because it is the easiest possible way to do it. Just spread your quilt on a straight surface and then pray. It is simple as 1-2-3. Be careful about the color bleeding, though.
Quilter gloves are a must-have for the people who have a lot of quilts to make and have no time to waste in arranging it all the time while stitching it. These gloves move the quilt with extreme ease and expertise because they have tiny rubber tips on the fingers and palms region.
Sponge bottom hoops are meant to help you keep your fabric tight while you run it through the machine. Basting guns shoot a plastic tag through all the three layers of the quilt (something like a stapler) and it much more convenient that pinning. The downside is that sometimes, if the material is not compatible, it will leave holes in the quilt.
The bottom line is that you have to be diligent in finding the quilting notions that work the best. Proper quilting notions lead to beautiful quilting.
