The needles will breeak, especially going over seams, so you'll need some extra.<BR/>*Extra denim - no matter how many pairs of old jeans you have, you'll need more, I promise. So take a look at what you've got, and buy a yard or two of a color you don't have much of. Or get more of what you've got to keep the tones the same.<BR/>*Use at LEAST a 1/2 or 3/4 inch seam allowance. Denim frays easily.<BR/>*Don't be rushed. I told the woman I did this for that I could not work with a deadline. She was fine with that. I worked on them on and off for 8 months.<BR/>*Hire someone to machine quilt it. Tawnya Mecham did mine for 1 1/2 cents per square inch. It was about $120 per full quilt.<BR/>Whew, that was lengthy!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603494913454324767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993076650660686412.post-49185760664834006992007-08-06T16:22:00.000-07:002007-08-06T16:22:00.000-07:00Hmm, are you taking orders?

Problem is, I've never made a quilt before. Now I am worried about my jean quilt dream, since you had a hard time with them, and you are like the queen of quilt-making. :-) <BR/><BR/>I found you from Emily. :-)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01837671746294035442noreply@blogger.com
