How can I make a quilt with pictures on it?
Q. I wanna make my mom a quilt for chirstmas, and I wanna get started now. But I have no idea how to go about starting it. I want to put pictures on it. Like in the movie Stepmom, the mother makes a quilt with family pictures on it. I wanna do that, but how do I get the pictures on cloth so I can sew it into the quilt?

A. Contact each manufacturer to see what their requirements are. You may have to buy more than you need, thus requiring you to spend more that what it would cost buying tax exempt from local shops.

How to print a quilt label on fabric using computer?
Q. I want to print out a label on a quilt with words and photo, using my computer and inkjet printer. How do you print on fabric, and what do you do to set the ink so it won't run or fade?
Asked by Laura R - Tue Feb 19 09:05:40 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Printed Treasures by Milliken is one of the best pretreated fabric sheets available. It's washable and doesn't fade much. All you do is put it in the printer one at a time (like photo paper). important: Run your printer's dpi (dots per inch) up to at least 600-1200 or more to get better color saturation on the fabric. It usually defaults to 300 and you image will not be good. Sue

A. Give her a pack or two of Crayola fabric crayons ( available at Office Depot or craft stores ) and as many sheets of plain white paper as quilt blocks you want to make and have her draw pictures about her favorite things,people,activities etc. Use these drawings to make the quilt blocks by turning them face down on a piece of fabric ( a blend makes a more brilliant transfer than 100% cotton) and ironing the back of the paper at the temperature recommended on the crayon box. Maybe you can make one corner block with info like her age at the time of the drawings and who made it and gave the quilt to her.

How to clean a handmade quilt?
Q. I need to have the quilt on my bed cleaned. It is handmade and has the little yarn ties at every corner, so I think it is super delicate. It is pretty dirty because I let my 2 dogs sleep in the bed. How should I clean it or does the drycleaner offer this service and what is the price?

A. Delicate or gentle cycle in your washer or the laundry mat's giant machine might be better. It would have more room in the big tub too wash. You could always wash it in the bath tub by hand, but the majority of hair will not come out like that. You have got to wash it one way or the other. Short of having it dry cleaned or something. You can just call for a quote. They all have different prices. But I think the washer will be ok on the delicate or gentle cycle. Dry for about 5 minutes then hang it up.

How did they make the photo quilt in the movie Stepmom?
Q. Specifically, what is the best printable fabric/ink solution. Is there somewhere I can send/email the photos and get them printed on fabric? I'd like to use the quilt everyday. Thank you!
Asked by Tracie - Tue Mar 27 15:44:23 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. There are essentially two ways - print the photos on iron on transfer paper, then iron them onto the fabric, or print the photos directly onto special fabric that has been treated to go through an inkjet printer. Neither method is cheap, especially if you're doing a lot of photos. Iron on photos will wear and fade much faster, so I don't recommend it for quilts. For the special fabric, you can either buy pre-treated, pre-cut fabric sheets that have a paper backing, or you can make your own fabric sheets. If you buy the pre-treated, read the instructions carefully. Some are not washable, and some need to be heat set before they can be washed. You can get these sheets at most fabric and craft stores. See the link below for several options.… [cont.]

Asked by busymakingcrafts - Thu Oct 30 12:34:19 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. A good height to aim for is one where you can stand straight and your elbows form a 90-degree angle. That's usually a pretty neutral position ergonomically. If you'll need to do a lot of leaning, a little higher is better. A consultation with a good chiropractor now may be the best investment you'll ever make.

What is the easiest way to finish a quilt?
Q. Now that I've got my top piece done, I'm really confused on how to finish it. As this is my first quilt, please use simple and straightforward instructions. Also, I've heard that you can use either batting or flannel for the middle piece, is there an advantage/disadvantage to either? Thank you so much in advance
Asked by Savannah - Fri Feb 13 23:03:15 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The Anatomy of a Quilt: All quilts share a basic anatomy, which consists of three layers plus the materials that hold those layers together. The layers of the quilt, often called the quilt sandwich, include the quilt top, batting, and backing. The quilting and binding join the layers together Quilt batting will work the best for the middle. Flannel would be OK for the backing, but pre-wash and dry first - it tends to shrink. Fleece backing is another option. You can bind the edges or use a pillowcase type finish for the backing and forgo the binding. Pillowcase style finish - Lots of good info at this site (see the sidebar) -

A. You can use soft baby yarn, embroidery floss, or any washable material. To avoid the whole "knot" issue, why not put the "knots" on the bottom? Start on the bottom, go straight up through to the top, move over 1/4 inch and go down. Come up again along the same "up" route, and back down the "down" route. Tie off on the bottom. It's nice and secure. That grandson lays on "dashes" of yarn or string and the backside is plain with the decorative ties! Good luck, Gram! Enjoy that baby!

If I have any excess on a block, I use my rotary blade to slice it off. Also, make sure you're consistent with your seams and always try to sew as straight as possible. If it's not that noticable, I wouldn't worry about it. My motto is "only God is perfect." I think mistakes or goof ups add to the character of the quilt.

A. The top and bottom of a quilt can be made of different material (i.e. cotton, polyester) the lining or batting in the middle is usually polyfiber of some sort. What kind you should look for depends on what you want. Most commerically available bed quilts are assembly line made by machine. You can find " hand-made" quilts, but they are usually alot more expensive because of the time in making it. I have been quilting for 14 years and i feel that the ones that are hand-made are the best. They are speacial and can be passed down generations if you take good care of them. Another option is to find someone to teach you to quilt. It is alot of fun and then you can create your own quilt. Good luck!
