Practice Sandwich


Sondra M

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a way to practice with my thread, fabric and batting before quilting on the actual quilt.  I've heard something about using mailing tubes to fasten a practice sandwich to the rollers but can't quite put my head around how to actually do that.  I've searched the forums but don't seem to be typing in the right search words.  I would appreciate any advice.  Thank you!

Sondra, I use the cardboard tube that is in the center of a batting roll, but mailing tubes would work, as long as they're big enough to go around your rollers. Cut into usable lengths, then cut a wide slot along the length - you should be able to snap them around your roller, along with your sandwich. You can also use PVC pipe lengths in the same way. Have fun!

Another thought - there are magnetic strips, sold at Harbor Freight, that work well, too, to hold a practice sandwich to a roller.
