When you ironed the first part of your fabric you ironed a bow into the cut ends instead of straight. I wonder if that happened in your salvage sides to cause the bow you talked about when folding the first piece. Thanks for this video, much appreciated even 5 years later...

Hmmm…it has been so long since I made this I would have to go back to watch and see lol! I still struggle with Kona. It’s like the selvage is so tight it really shrinks in compared to the rest of the fabric. This is a video I really want to remake because I have changed a few things on my process. When things finally slow down a bit, I will definitely add this to the video list! Keep an eye out!

I made it! I got some ironing board cover material and added a couple layers of insulbrite and added a backing and then put some binding on it. It worked really well for a while. I could roll it up out of the way, but then it started getting brittle. I made one out of plywood that I use now. There are you tube videos out there on how to make one. I need to make a bunch for our guild’s quilt show, so maybe I can record it to show you how to make one!

Do your pre wash/shrink your fabric before you starch?

It depends. Usually no, because I am too lazy! I always make sure to use color catchers when I do end up washing. If I have a lot of batiks that I am nervous about bleed, then I will, especially reds.
