Miss O will surely love it!<br /><br />Thankfully I haven't had any physical problems when sewing with unwashed fabrics but I do know what you mean about the smell. Some fabrics seem to be worse than others. I'm curious to see what you do about washing it before binding.<br /><br />Gone Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02044426675150865698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-20421173461685805362014-11-11T21:50:39.257+11:002014-11-11T21:50:39.257+11:00Pretty Pretty!Pretty Pretty!Marysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02000465859017119743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-67727278383546189402014-11-11T13:09:44.875+11:002014-11-11T13:09:44.875+11:00Such pretty pinks..a color I am freshly seeing lat...Such pretty pinks..a color I am freshly seeing lately :)SarahZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848104380274247158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-30542532500660747322014-11-11T12:25:39.652+11:002014-11-11T12:25:39.652+11:00Such joyous colours in this quilt - really lovely!...Such joyous colours in this quilt - really lovely! I have had stitch skip on one quilt - drove me insane. The key for me was to change thread type (and make sure I was using the same thread for top and bottom, which I had not been) and needle type - so not just a new needle, but a different type of needle all together. Hope you can fix up that problem!!!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07919462028551674067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-3487809718726154792014-11-11T12:25:26.163+11:002014-11-11T12:25:26.163+11:00Such a beautiful quilt.

Very interesting how you have this rolled up on the sides to sew it. My only quilt experience has been the little wall hanging that I recently posted, so have never had to deal with how to sew on a large quilt like this is. With the new sewing machine that I recently bought, they told me that If i was going to do much quilting that i would need a special foot which would make the feed more smooth and keep from skipping stiches. It is a foot that also has a top feed dog, so there is one on top and one on the bottom. Also told me to change the tension to a thicker material. Wonder if that is something that might help you out.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08282631333469688624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-1012164942399630282014-11-11T09:53:51.382+11:002014-11-11T09:53:51.382+11:00No I haven’t tried a quilting needle - maybe that’...No I haven’t tried a quilting needle - maybe that’s the answer.

Conventional cotton often involves the use of formaldehyde in the printing/dying process and again in the finishing to help prevent shrinkage and wrinkling. The formaldehyde is then locked into the fabric with an exposure to extreme high heat. <br />That could be the problem - or one of them. Another good reason to switch to organic (and prewash).<br />Karen @ Pieces of Contentmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00719349569606790410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-61441663791993637772014-11-11T09:03:24.190+11:002014-11-11T09:03:24.190+11:00Karen, This is such a happy quilt - Miss O will be...Karen, This is such a happy quilt - Miss O will be snuggled in colorful love. I often have trouble with fabrics - I have a formaldehyde allergy and many fabrics contain some formaldehyde either in the material or the dye. For me, washing before handling would be necessary. Organic fabric will not have formaldehyde. Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.com
