Pressing...Pressing or ironing....that is an issue. Pressing is very important-as it does not stretch out the fabric. Ironing on the other hand can cause some issues with quilt blocks. Pressing is a different motion, as I have learned!!Chellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08804004077691340780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-55933364949386880022011-11-16T20:01:18.731-07:002011-11-16T20:01:18.731-07:00I am not the best at pressing, I still have a tend...I am not the best at pressing, I still have a tendency to stretch..... good luck getting all the seams to go in the right space!Alycia~Quiltygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283575876006453806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-9457689158483130462011-11-14T00:08:28.072-07:002011-11-14T00:08:28.072-07:00Yes, I dread the pressing on a large quilt.

It worked for the shoemaker? : )Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-4324105787928645502011-11-13T18:10:23.570-07:002011-11-13T18:10:23.570-07:00I know you'll have it whipped into shape real ...I know you'll have it whipped into shape real soon.

Everything you show us is stunning. <br />That concept of "one step at a time" --or one "bite" at a time (as in how do you eat an elephant?)-- made a huge difference in my life when I finally GOT it. I was a working mom of 5 when that "elephant" question exploded into my understanding and changed my outlook on "getting it all done." No more being "tied in knots" about it all. Most of the time. :-)Lindahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08450792092084530798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-48374016049610682762011-11-13T15:26:41.937-07:002011-11-13T15:26:41.937-07:00thats looking great.
