KarenLummus Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 My biggest problem with customer quilts is that often the backs aren\'t squared up. I have done this for them, but I feel that I may not be doing it in the most efficient manner. I tried Carol Thelan\'s method as described in her book, but it never works out for me. I end up using the floor tiles which works, but it kills my back bending down. Help! Any helpful hints would be appreciated. Is there an online tutorial?

Stagecl Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 And sometimes when they do square up the backing it still isn\'t square. I tear on the large one piece backings, use the selevages to pin to the leaders and try not to use a rotary cutter:). Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjfrazior Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 There is a very helpful video on You Tube. Do a search within the site for "squaring a quilt back" HTH, jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
