Prepping for a Flawless Finish
Before jumping into the sewing process, make sure to prep the fabric thoroughly!
Pre-washing your fabrics can save you a lot of heartache later on due to shrinkage.
It also helps to press your fabric before cutting to ensure you get those clean, crisp edges that will keep your quilt looking professional.
Trust me, starting with well-prepped fabric goes a long way.
Also, take your time while cutting your squares and triangles for the Radiant Ruby quilt.
Accuracy is key to ensure that all pieces fit together perfectly later on.
I typically crank up my favorite tunes and enjoy the rhythm of cutting and preparing the fabric.
It’s not just work; it’s part of the creative process!
