ffq-lar Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Isn\'t that phenomenal? And the feathers are beautiful! Bonnie--I have a similar Lone Star in line that looks like that. It is flannel front and back. Can I BFFSSM it? If not........suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Linda, The starch will work on the flannel too! Catherine - great job taming the beast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Yea, for the tamed triangles.... Yep, as long as its 100% cotton, flannel. If there is any poly in it at all it will work some, but not as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoleneK Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 How do you do that? Is there a previous post with the Bonnie\'s Fabulous Butt-Savin\' Steam Starch Method, maybe under a different title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltermidwife Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Bonnie I note from a previous post that you can work the steam method on or off the machine. I had assumed it was just the quilt top. Does the heat of the iron and steam affect poly batting. I have this vision of it turning into a hard melted lump!!

DoryJM Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Hey, Bonnie in New York...can you send me a link to that method as well??? Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Chris...it can be used on a poly batting, but you do need to turn down your iron...and be more careful of it ....if you are going to do this while on the frame, besure to hold a towel or something thick under the quilt so you don\'t burn your hand when you iron from the top.

Guest LA Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Dear Bonnie, I vote for you to do an "info-merical" on this technique! Okay, maybe a U-tube would work, think of all the buts & gray hairs you could save/spare your fellow LA quilters!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandraC Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Help, I think I\'m going to try the method for the first time...getting to the end of a quilt and it\'s just a-waving at me! Having trouble searching for the instructions so if someone could direct me to them I would much appreciate it!!! I really hoped to have this one off the machine today Thanks, Sandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Bonnie, waiting for that DVD. I have so many "friendly" quilts. I have one now that the two middle blocks are having a tent party but the quilt is nice and square. I am afraid to do Bonnie\'s miracle on it for fear it will no longer be square. so I stand and stare at it with "the look" :Phoping it will get so frightened by my mean look the blocks will straighten themselves out. Used to work for me when my mom gave me "the look" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
