I like your theory of a solid and a varigateted thread to quilt your Afghan in the end it makes sense to do what you suggest w the threads

Love your liberty fabrics. I am in the process of doing a liberty fabric EPP myself at the moment. The. Choice of fabrics are lovely well worth the extra cost. Fabrics very random, but still go together really well. The quilt I am making is 108x108 inches. I have got 1.75 size hexagons, so it’s taking a good old while to do, but gives hours of pleasure sitting putting it together. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

I never would’ve thought to use variegated thread to quilt. I certainly wouldn’t have picked that orange one lol It looks great.

Love your epp tutorials. Are you using a quilt batting, what kind?

@thestrawberrythief9299 Жыл бұрын

Hi Sue, Robyn uses Quiltlite batting for all her quilts, it can be purchased from our website - thestrawberrythief.com.au/product/quiltlite-cotton-batting/

Great tutorial thank you , i need to get my hexies out of hibernation. Do you stitch across each hexie in each direction ie 3 times? Would you recommend a specific place to start the quilting?

@thestrawberrythief9299 3 жыл бұрын

Hi :) After I have hand tacked the entire quilt, I usually start from a corner and work my way across the quilt. I would only do it in 2 directions to create diamond shapes across the quilt. I hope this makes sense? Have a beautiful day Robyn

@@thestrawberrythief9299 thank you, that makes perfect sense. My hexies are now out of hibernation 🤣, my quilt will take years, however i've purchased the liberty love around the world pattern and plan to keep up with that SAL... thank you for the inspiration

Slow but steady, I’m now up to the hand quilting stage. Can you tell me which Aurofil 12 w variegated thread you chose? I love the idea of quilting circles.

@thestrawberrythief9299 6 ай бұрын

I used a Variegated 12 wt Aurifil Thread called Desert Dawn. You can find it here: thestrawberrythief.com.au/product-tag/variegated-thread/?products-per-page=all

When you start quilting, do you start in the middle of the quilt or at one edge and work across? How have you basted it? Love your tutorial.

@thestrawberrythief9299 Жыл бұрын

It really is a personal preference and would depend on the size of your quilt - as for the basting you might want to check out this tutorial - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/prBxfJh70s3KhZs.html

I may have missed this but do you use a single thread or do you double it?

@thestrawberrythief9299 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Barbara, we use a single thread but recommend a 12wt thread, I've put a link to the thread we use. thestrawberrythief.com.au/products/haberdashery/aurifil-thread/12wt/

Hi Robyn, so you only stitch through the top layer and the batting layer…..is that right??.. Thank you

@thestrawberrythief9299 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Jemma, thank you for your message, you will need to stitch through all 3 layers (top, batting, and backing)

Thank you! I used a Liberty Tana Lawn fabric called Love Pop but it isn't in stock any more. Here is a blog post about backing your quilts that you may find helpful - thestrawberrythief.com.au/backing-and-batting-for-your-hexie-quilt/

The batting I use is quiltlite, it is very lightweight and soft. We have it available on our website here: thestrawberrythief.com.au/product/quiltlite-cotton-batting/

Do you use batting on a Grandmother Flower Garden Quilt? Do you use a backing?

@thestrawberrythief4236 2 ай бұрын

Hi :) yes, I use both.

@thestrawberrythief4236 2 ай бұрын

Usually, the stitching together of the Hexies for a Grandmother Flower Garden Quilt will create a flimsy (quilt top) and then batting and backing are used to complete the quilt

@mooziet652 11 ай бұрын

Do you quilt with the bottom fabric too ? 🇨🇦

@thestrawberrythief9299 6 ай бұрын

Yes, the needle and thread goes through all 3 layers (quilt top, batting and backing fabric). xx
