Ironing

           Ironing can be a hassle especially when it’s done in a small space, as I have.  Inevitably I hit my hand on something.  Sometimes my head.  Since I use a small board, there is always more quilt than space.  Of course, little threads needing to be trimmed appear from nowhere.  It is all a hassle, but it is one that needs to done.

                That’s because an ironed quilt top and back is what helps make a quilt look so great in the end.  There is less risk of catches and tucks as it’s being quilted.  Yes, there are times when a fold just won’t go away no matter how many times you iron it, but it is still worth a try.  The quilt will look so much better in the end.
