Quilt Tips:  An Easier Way to Bury Your Quilt Threads!

1/31/2022

1 Comment

 
Some times finding an easy way to do something crosses your path in unexpected ways.  That happened to me with this tip.  I'll be honest, I don't bother to bury my threads when I quilt.  I don't enter competitions and I am still in the learning stages.  So, I just clip those threads and move on.
Recently I was watching a live video from one of my favorite online quilt teachers, Helen Godden of Australia, and she mentioned she clips her threads except when she is quilting for a competition. Then she uses the Lasso method since it is much easier and faster.  Wait, she had my attention.  She stopped and quickly showed us and it was brilliant.
So I searched You Tube and found this short video that shares the method and I wanted to pass this along in case any of you don't know about it.
Thanks, Ann

A big thanks to Chris (my hubby) for suggesting this video to share.  Chris has always loved finding a bargain, so it makes sense that he brought it to my attention.  This just happens to be a You Tube channel that I also love.
Karen Brown from Just Get It Done Quilts lives in Canada, so some items at the Dollar Store might be a little different.  Watch for some great tips for quilters.
Enjoy!

So you have a few quilts stacked up, huh? And now they’re lurking precariously behind closet doors ready to assault you as soon as the door is opened. Yeah, that would be a personal confession about my life :) This is a current pic of my living room, these are all trunk show quilts...sigh. So, it’s time to do something about it! I did a little research and here’s what I found. If you, too, have a monster pile of quilts, maybe this will help. Rolling quilts is a good way to...
