Hello Quilting friends... I need your advice please. I am thinking about making a crushed velveteen quilt top for my son's
40th BD present (whew...talk about time going by quickly! :O). Have any of you ever quilted on top of crushed velveteen? Any recommendations? SID vs. any pattern? Or should I simply tie it ... instead of put it on my quilt frame (think the ties would be masculine enough & will ties hold up?)? BTW I'm going to do a 1/2 seam allowance when piecing so it doesn't fray w/time & washings. Don't you agree? And does crushed velveteen stretch on a (quilt) frame? What about the pile...could you even see a pattern on that? (I think I will do a test sample on my DSM). Please be honest as I haven't started yet & just wanted to check to see if I'm headed down the wrong path. I want to do something special and classy. I'm sure you understand. Thanks a lot for any help & input you can share ... Lynn snipped-for-privacy@mac.com Tampa, Fl.- posted
