Today is a very chilly day, I have the fire burning and have been enjoying lots of lovely mugs of hot chocolate while I've been working, it's most definitely Autumn here in Lincolnshire. Have a good weekend whatever you are doing :-)

Making Bias Tape
I've had great fun today making bias tape with a little quilting gadget that really works. I've got the Fusible Bias Tape Maker from Clover, it folds the tape and lines up the fusible tape and I just had to iron it as I pulled it out of the little maker thingy. Very impressive.
I then set out the tape into the Celtic Lovers' Knot that will be in the central medallion of the quilt I am making for David and Jessica. It will need a little checking before I iron and then stitch it down as some of my overs should be unders and vice versa. I'm glad to have made a start on the wedding quilt and to know approximately where I'm going with it.

Well, it didn't take you much time to make the fusible bias tape, did it? The result is impressive, well done.

ReplyDeleteHi Lis, I quite enjoy making bias tape, and it your design looks pretty impressive, looking forward to seeing where you go with it...:o)
ReplyDeleteMaking bias tape with a Clover tape maker is a breeze, and fun too. The Lovers' Knot design is wonderful. I have never made one with hearts in it, must try that one day.
