Text of the page (random words):
or sewing and quilting with vintage sheets my favorite kind is the size 12 jeans or denim needle these needles work so well because of the way fabric is made quilt fabric is generally about 75 threads per inch so a universal sewing machine needle or a sharp works just fine however vintage sheets are generally woven with a much denser thread count of up to 200 threads per inch so they require a stronger needle especially when joining all those points and corners jeans needles are designed to be used with densely woven fabric such as denim they have an extra long point and the shaft is stronger this way the denser fabric can be more easily pierced and the shaft has the strength to withstand the extra pressure of piercing multiple layers batik fabric is also more densely woven by necessity due to the process used to produce it i like to use size 12 jeans needles because they are very pointy and strong but are still fine enough not to leave those big holes that size 16 or 18 jeans needles leave george a photo by jenib320 on flickr oh george today i love the smell of clean apartment sound of harry potter 5 audiobook taste of menchies froyo sight of sunshine feel of

light half square triangles i made a similar pouch last year but gave it to amanda she was in love with it how could i deny her this time instead of using the same color fabric in different values this time i used two shades of the same print i was really happy that i actually had enough prints to do this i love how it looks like it s achieved with dyeing bleaching but it s not art gallery
