I'm going to buy a free-motion quilting foot for my Brother Low-shank sewing machine. What's better a Clear plastic foot or a metal foot? I assume the metal foot will be stronger, more durable & last longer & the plastic foot will be clear, so more easy to see projects through. Have any of you out there use both feet? And what do you recommend?
I've had two sewing machines, and with each I could only buy a specific type of foot to fit my machine. I had no say as to whether plastic or metal would be more convenient. Have you actually checked to see if both are an option for your machine? Is so, they aren't that expensive, just try one and if you don't like it you can still buy the other.
Yes, I've already checked before I posted this.... I can buy either for my machine... The plastic one is $10 & the metal one is $20... I just want what works best!
Can someone send me a video or show me a method/steps for how to do a "hidden stitch" so my fabric stamped cross stitch baby quilt, so that the stitches do not show on the back of the quilt.
Here is a link to a video that shows step by step how to do an invisible stitch.www.youtube.com/
What is a scrap making tool? Can anyone tell me? Thank you.

I don't know what a scrap making tool is, but could you be referring to a binding tool? It is used to cut angles.
I have looked for this pattern, even on amazon.ca, but so far no luck. Does any one know where to find one?

Is there a way to use a full size hand quilting frame to quilt a queen size quilt?

Check out these photos.
A lap quilt made with scrap strips of fabric with round corners. After piecing the quilt center, I made a 4 inch border by sewing together many small coordinating fabrics.
This is a page about cutting fabric straight with scissors. Cutting a straight line, using scissors, when working with fabric is not always that easy.
Cutting mats develop scratches and rough spots over time as they are used. Refreshing a cutting mat surface may be possible with some light sanding.
The number of fat quarters needed for various quilts will depend on the finished size, but even more importantly on the type of block chosen. Complex blocks may require more fabric as there may be more waste.
Even if you don't have a quilting frame it is easy to tie your quilt. One method is to lay the layers on the floor and pin or baste them together and then tie. This is a page about tying a quilt without a frame.
