Crazy Quilting

When I baste my quilt I thread my long needle and do not cut the thread from the spool until I reach the spot that I need to stop. That way I do not have to thread the needle as often, saving much time. bunny quilter2@webtv.net

I like to cut out all the fabric for my quilt at one time.  When I cut out the amount called for, I put all that size in a zip bag and label the bag.  That way when I start to sew on the quilt, I know exactly what size it is and don't have to measure again for lengths that are close.

 I am new at quilting... But what I do I get all my material together & make my blocks then I set it out the way I would like it  then I take a picture of it .That way I know the way it is suppose to be. Saved me a lot of time.. Happy Sewing... I also write down the needle I have in my machine & the date I put it in I have a black board in my sewing room that way if I am having problems it might be the size needle I have in my machine.
