On this episode of the Connecting Threads Podcast, Kate is
asking some questions and getting some answers. There are some
things that have come up for her that has prevented her from moving
forward with her quilt and there are some questions from the
Connecting Threads community that Elise and Patrice help
answer. From basting and fibers, come learn with
Kate.
First up Kate and Elise check in about what they've been working
on. Both of them have been working on sewing masks and they are
also both working on quilts. Kate asks Elise her big question, "I
have the top of my quilt, what do I do next?". Elise gives her
personal advice about batting, binding and quilting to walking
foots, different types of basting to needles to batting, and more.
Elise tells it all.
Next we meet Chamisa a Textile Designer at Connecting
Threads.
Then Patrice answers some questions that are commonly asked the
Connecting Threads Customer Service team, like "What thread count
is your fabric"; "Where is your fabric made"; "How do I calculate
how much standard width fabric I need to back a quilt?" and more.
Patrice also offers up a sneak peek or "spoiler alert" for
something coming up for our Connecting Threads Customers.
