Pin or Glue To Sandwich Your Quilt

Everyone’s ideas are different. Personally, I love to use glue.

Why? I didn’t start quilting until I was 76 so it was a real learning curve for me.

I started by just sewing squares together to help a charity. I soon became bored with that. So I decided to learn how to quilt through the help of videos and, yes I made many errors.

My first quilt I sandwiched it with pins. What a performance. I had to keep moving the pins out of the way of the machine.

That was the only time I ever used pins. Everything I do now is with glue. Not just any glue, I found a spray glue in Bunning’s, it is fantastic. It is called Sika Spray Fix. It does not stain, and if something is crooked or has a crease, you can just lift it up and straighten. Once you have that side straight, turn it over and do the same on the other side.

The beauty of using this glue, is its very economical. I use very little. It doesn’t matter how many times you lift it up and straighten, it will re-stick again with out any problems.

I have tried many other glues and never have as much success as this one. I could normally buy it locally. Since shifting I have to get someone else to buy it for me.

Although, when I was making two quilts a week a can would usually last me two months, so it was economical.

So why would you bother to sandwich with pins, that you have to keep shifting all the time.

I am 84 now and yes I am still making quilts for different charities. Although I do sell some to help pay for the materials as it is a very expensive hobby.

Creating My Own Labels

Don’t laugh, but I also use this spray glue to glue the ends of the material to my printer paper to create my own labels for the quilts.

I must stress that you only need to spray both ends and a spot in the middle and never put in your printer until is is perfectly dry.

I don’t do any thing fancy.

MADE WITH LOVE MADE WITH LOVE E.HUGHES – KATANNING E.HUGHES – KATANNING MADE WITH LOVE MADE WITH LOVE E.HUGHES – KATANNING E.HUGHES – KATANNING

That’s all I do. I do it in word on the computer repeating it over and over to

fill the page. Make sure you leave plenty of room so when you cut it out, you leave enough space to turn the edges under for sewing onto your quilt.

Tip- Make sure you know which side of the paper your printer prints on. Otherwise it will print on the paper and not on your material.

You can only use ink jet printers for making these labels. Plus once printed you need to let dry then cover with paper and iron the print so it does not fade.

Good luck with your quilting.
