Additional Tips for Success
As we embark on this quilting journey together, there are a few tips I’d like to share to ensure your success.
First, when pinning the houses and roofs onto the Ticking background, use plenty of pins to secure them before stitching.
This may seem tedious, but it will keep everything organized and prevent any slips or misalignments.
Secondly, don’t be afraid to let your personality shine!
The Follow Your Heart Home Wall Hanging is a canvas for self-expression, and each embellishment, from the hand-stitched details to unique button placements, reflects you.
Enjoy the process, and remember: it’s all about the love we pour into our work!
