I believe that even though it's tough to start again, sewing--or any creative passion--is therapeutic. I'm quite a mess maker and have been afraid to try glue basting, but you make it look so neat! Does it wash out easily or do you need to do an extra soak or rinse?JanineMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13475847392355523001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-12460847199673241252017-09-01T11:26:20.088-05:002017-09-01T11:26:20.088-05:00smart woman!

I always had trouble keeping my zippers for pillow backs from slipping even using pins. I ended up trying to glue baste the zippers and it worked! Here is a link to a tutorial I did using glue if you ever want to give it a try. http://twiggyandopal.blogspot.com/2017/01/glue-basting-zipper-tutorial.html<br />I ended up going with the first layout because it was easier, but I love the second one more.

I just happen to have a jug of school glue on my shelf so there's no excuse for me not to try curves now. I do like the layout of the top quilt and can understand why you don't want to sew the blocks row by row. I would do the same thing. I think you got your mojo back with this quilt; can't wait to see what you decide to do.somethingrosemade14@blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02973160061640897272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-28074389891833405762017-08-27T16:04:07.223-05:002017-08-27T16:04:07.223-05:00Thanks for the tip on the glue.
