i'm kinda afraid to go get my art quilt out of the wash. what i f it came apart.  i will cry.

but it needs to dry so i can embellish and mail.

Question: At what point should I attach loops and what is the best way of doing so? I have an idea of making detachable ones, but wouldnt mind hearing how a few of you do yours.

The best way I have found is to pre-make your loops, attatch them upside down on the front side of your hanging. than place your backside on top (right sides together). sew your edges together leaving a small space to turn right side out and than press and stitch the gap closed. hope this helps

i will be hand sewing a sleeve to the back.


(i had a nightmare last night that us customs would not let my quilt into the country cause they deemed it pornographic... and they tried to arrest me in my home... i need to get this one done and on it's way.  )

and no, it isn't pornographic in ANY way.

Haha, wow, now that's an interesting dream, and it did make me curious on what you were making

I generally just add two loops to the back of mine. I used to do a pocket all the way across but since it takes hand sewing I have decided that two tiny sleeves work just as well (not a fan of hand sewing). I actually do them the very last thing, after the binding is on.

Thanks for the advice!

[StickerChic87]

Ok two things:

Quilt and then bind, or bind and then quilt?

Second, Im starting to get the anxiety. Anyone up to take peek and offer some feedback? It would be much appreciated


Thanks!

Quilt first, then bind.

I just re-did what I did yesterday, with better results, then had fun playing around with the fancy stitch options on my sewing machine. I've got my top done; yay!
