I worked most evenings last week for at least an hour on sewing down the edges of the weaving on my latest quilt. I finally finished yesterday afternoon. It must have been at least 10 hours work, not to mention the metres of sewing thread that went into it.
Today I cut the first shape out and reinserted it. The piece is held temporarily in place with iron on interfacing of the thinnest sort. The edges are joined together again with satin stitch on the machine. More metres of thread! I ran out of the right colour thread late this afternoon, so that stopped play for the time being.
The nail biting moment is past now though. I’ve made the first cut and seen that the idea is working.
