    I LOVE that you save & use scraps in SEW many fun ways. I also save salvages. Fellow quilters/sewists would laugh at me because it wasn’t “the thing” to do. Now it seems many more are following our lead! It’s SEW fun! Next to nothing has to be wasted! Some even use thread pieces. I LOVE it❤

    When bias tape ravels as it did in this video, my solution is to trim it, fold in under once the a second time on the skinny end and either top stitch, hand stitch or glue the folded area in place. It might be worth a try. Darling project, thanks for tutorial.

    • @friedareading6814
      @friedareading6814 2 місяці тому

      Freezer paper has a waxed side and will adhere to the back of your project to stabilize for sewing.

    • @SewtheDistance
      @SewtheDistance  Місяць тому

      I love freezer paper for that purpose. For protecting the iron when using fusible interfacing, it doesn't work, however. The fusible won't adhere well with the wax side down and will cause the fabric to stick and if you flip it over, you will get wax all over your iron.
