I love your red flanel quilt. These applique blocks are spectacular. I wish I could spend an afternoon learning from you - I'm ready to try needle turn applique! <BR/><BR/>I know a million people have commented on your unpleasant commenter already. I'm so impressed by all the speakers of other languages who blog in English and love them for it - making it possible for more of us to meet each other online!! I have a friend who is an English teacher (and speaks it as her mother tongue) and she has someone who corrects her English on her blog - apparently there are more like this one out there!<BR/><BR/>One last comment... In the US, I wash and dry my fabric - in cold with a little big of detergent. I try to take it out of the drier still damp and iron immediately, but that doesn't always happen and I've seen plenty of messes like that one!! Here in Finland I don't have a drier, so I just wash and hang - again trying to iron before totally dry, but not always succeeding. :)Hedgehoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03457631974666183374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32055924.post-1161966202668125312006-10-27T18:23:00.000+02:002006-10-27T18:23:00.000+02:00May, your Sunday efforts are rewarding.

If it's a dark color that i think may bleed i put it in hot water with a bit of detergent. I do this until it's no longer bleeds. <BR/><BR/>I'm so happy to see two of the Daisy blocks. I even showed my two DDs the photo. They look great.

As a native speaker of the language - neither is mine. I wish I had the ability to communicate in more than one language and I am grateful that others do. I take no time for nastiness. So .....<BR/>I never pre-wash my fabrics. I like to fly by the seat of my pants, I guess. And I don't worry too much about bleeding if the fabric is of good quality. That said, if I buy from a source that I am unsure of then I will pre-wash. But that is seldom.<BR/>I love your applique flowers so far. This is going to be a fun quilt to see progress.

I read a tip somewhere that if you set your sewing machine to the longest stitch and just baste the fabric together at the cut ends, that cuts down a lot on the twisting and loose threads. I tried it, and it did seem to help quite a lot.<BR/><BR/>As for the rude poster attacking your command of English, it sounds suspiciously like a mischief-maker looking for someone to hassle. Your English is wonderful and the translation was completely understandable...and the poem was beautiful. Best to forget about antisocial creeps who search about the Internet for someone to insult! I hope you won't let it deter you from future poems you think we'd like!<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>DianneDiannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01861470381511685079noreply@blogger.com
