Ironing Tips & Tricks

Experienced quilters know how necessary an iron is to quilting success. But if you’re just getting into the sport (if you’ve done it, you know it should be classed as a sport) our tips may save you from some quilting mishaps.

IRONING

 

Ironing is only done during the beginning part of piecing a quilt. You should iron out the wrinkles in your fabric after you’ve gotten it from the store and/or after you’ve washed it.

You will want to iron gently (in the direction of the weft and warp) so that you don’t shift your grainlines out of position. This method of ironing reduces the likelihood that you will stretch out your fabric.PRESSING

PRESSING

 

Pressing should be done throughout the piecing process. After piecing, you'll want to press your fabric to set in the seam using the OnPoint™ tip.

After sewing your pieces together, you should press the seam open or to one side (usually the darker fabric's side so you won't see the fabric through it). As with garment sewing, this reduces bulk in your finished product.

After sewing your blocks together, you'll want to open the quilt block by pressing it open from the right side using the OnPoint™ tip. This will help eliminate any tucks or wavy lines to ensure your blocks are the correct size.

Pro-Tip: Often used interchangeably, Ironing & Pressing are NOT the same thing. Ironing is the action used to remove wrinkles by sliding a hot iron back and forth. Pressing is the process of lifting and putting the iron down on a specific part of a project.

PRO-TIP if you're writing your fics in Google Docs:

If you go into formatting and "add space after paragraph," it automatically adds a small space between paragraphs and you don't need to do it manually and have those HUGE gaps when you post your stuff onto AO3.

Some people don't mind that huge space, and I don't mind it when reading stuff, but I hated seeing it in my own fics and fixing the issue paragraph by paragraph before posting got monotonous, so I figured this out after some trial and error and wanted to share with anyone who might not know. :)

Pro-tip: If you go under your "Following" tab on your blog, you can see how long ago someone has updated. And if the blog has "-blog" at the end of it, that's a good indication that it is inactive. I'm seeing blogs that have not been active in 4–6 years. Yikes. 😬 Will probably log in at a later time to delete them.

I really don't know why social media apps don't have a feature that automatically deletes inactive accounts after a certain about of years.
