Memory Quilt PART 1 - Mixed Fabrics, Buttons & Tucks, Lace, and More!

#memoryquilt #freemotionquilting #stitchedbysusan Memory quilts are incredibly special! And also, often incredibly challenging for free motion quilting at the longarm. Because this one is made 100% from clothes, the fabric content varies. There’s denim lace t-shirts voile (very fine and thin) button plackets metal snaps hand stitched details Even the backing is made from clothing bits, and has a ton of seams, so it’s been stabilized with a layer of muslin to keep everything reasonably flat and stable. Care will need to be taken to keep all the memory bits intact. Topics will include: planning and loading design choices thread and of course the freehand quilting Want a cool T-shirt like mine? https://rb.gy/j8vek3 Link to One Common Thread website: https://onecommonthread.org/ ========== Want to try free motion quilting, but don't know where to start?
