The Face in the Mirror asked:


I’m looking for instructions on how to make a photo quilt or a photo pillow (the photo pillow uses 9 quilt squares per side). Do you know of a website where I can get step-by-step instructions on how to make one?

Becky asked:


I would machine sew the first side and then hand sew it to the back. Is there a charge per inch?

Francelia Nathaline’s Lilys asked:


I don’t want cheap nylon or polyester or some fly by night material.

Not expensive–just durable.

Going to sew a laundry bag for my son with a cowboy theme on it.
Would quilting fabric do, or is that too light?

Commie Unions =(New World Order) asked:


What is the trick. Do you start in the middle to keep it from bulging.

Matching the borders is very hard for me. Do you overlap them?

Any help will be appreciated.

Commie Unions =(New World Order) asked:


I have four colors. A total of (20) 7″ Wide strips X 42″ long.

Do I sew the colors in the strips together and then cut into squares? Or do you recommend I cut the squares all into 7″ squares and then assort them like I want.
