But when I unfold the bundle of fabric I got - so I could prepare it for cutting ... And the damn thing is almost U-shaped, from when they ripped it off the role at the store. I tried for like an hour to yank it and stretch it and pull it ... to get it proper ... But NO ...
Even desperate enough to call my mum for help. According to her pulling and stretching it should help ... after about the 3rd phone call she agreed to come by in the morning to assist me ... So lets hope she can help ... or I will have to go down to the store again to see what they have for solution ...
Sometimes getting a new hobby you feel so useless cause you don't have a clue what the tricks and fixes are ...
Here is a piccy - with the edges on the fabric lined next to each other - and this being the middle ...
And part 2 of my whining ... I stopped by the library today ... they had 4 books about quilting ... 3 of then only showing pics of finished things - but not explaining how you did it ... and the 4th book was something that was most likely older than me ... Not really impressed. Someone need to assign some money to upkeep the libraries - cause they are only having crap. OK I stop ranting ...
But at least I got a table and a chair sorted for my sewing machine - so just get my fabric fixed and I should be good to go =)
Whish you the best of luck on this project, personally I give up very fast when something is not going right from start... I am curios to see the final project what you are doing if you will be able to uload a pic at the finish
ReplyDeleteI guess I give up to fast sometimes too ... but since I'm at this I am afraid to ruin things, and fabrics are so expensive.
ReplyDeleteI had to in the end go into town and ask the ladies in the store ... and she did show me how to pull it some what straight and she even pinned on the pattern for me so all I need to do is cut it now.
And you bet I will post the final project. After I am done doing my happy dance ... I got some cool fabric and I know I will love it =)
