Re: Stitching for Charity! (brainstorming)
Awesome work guys! I can't wait to see how this turns out. Like tnitnetny if you had things come up we can cover for you. I know once I get started I'm a pretty quick stitcher so it shouldn't be a big deal to cover for a few people.
Now I just need to finish my own squares. I'm a little behind because I just became an uncle and had some work stuff come up, but now I can put my nose to the grind stone.

Re: Stitching for Charity! (brainstorming)
Been working on my smb3 square and finally figured out my FF pattern. I know I'll have my smb3 square done and fingers crossed I can finish my FF one in time to mail it out but I don't think I'll have time for my zelda square T_T
Here is my FF square I will be getting supplies for later today:

Re: Stitching for Charity! (brainstorming)
Cool design, corbin. How's everyone else doing? I've completed my 5th square and I think I shall make this the last one, as I need to take a break for a few days to rest. I'm sorry I couldn't do all the ones I wanted to do initially, but I did my best and I hope it is enough.
Anyways, take a look! (Sorry for the bad picture >_>)
Now all I need to do is give them all a wash, flatten and straighten them out and get them on their way to tnitnetny!

Re: Stitching for Charity! (brainstorming)
You don't have to worry about washing them if you don't want to. I will wash, flatten, and iron them all before I quilt them just in case someone forgot to wash them.
Again, AMAZING!!
Remember, if we don't get as many squares as we planned, I will just make 1 quilt instead of 2 or 3. So don't worry if you can't get to them all. If there are leftover squares, then throw pillows!

Re: Stitching for Charity! (brainstorming)
It's cool, I want to get a really nice picture of them all cleaned up before they leave me. Also, I'll use any excuse to get out the stuff I wash my stitchings in, it smells lovely!tnitnetny wrote:You don't have to worry about washing them if you don't want to.

Re: Stitching for Charity! (brainstorming)
I currently use a liquid for cottons/delicates that I buy at my local store (it's the store's own brand), but I'll use anything similar to that, it just depends on availability really. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that, but I hope it helps a littlejadely wrote:What do you wash your stitches in BMH?I've never washed my stitchings (they've all been fairly small), but with some bigger pieces I know I'm going to need to.

washing up liquid (the stuff for dishes that comes in a bottle and isn't already foamy like Fairy Liquid) works just fine.jadely wrote: What do you wash your stitches in BMH?I've never washed my stitchings (they've all been fairly small), but with some bigger pieces I know I'm going to need to.

Just try to get clear dishwashing detergent, if that's what your going to use. Sometimes the coloured ones will dye your fabric!

Re: Stitching for Charity! (brainstorming)
I've never had that happen. I would suggest if you're putting enough in to get a dye out of it, that you're probably using a lot more than is necessary to get the job done. There is no needs for suds.Yurtle wrote:Just try to get clear dishwashing detergent, if that's what your going to use. Sometimes the coloured ones will dye your fabric!
