Frequently Asked Questions
How does batting tape rescue leftover batting?
By making joins invisible — butt two straight-cut batting edges together, iron the tape over the seam, and the joined piece quilts like a single sheet. Studios turn roll-end offcuts into full baby-quilt and throw battings instead of waste.
Why do longarm quilters net their thread cones?
Delivery control — at longarm speeds, slick and specialty threads can slough off the cone in loops that snag and snap. A thread sock adds just enough drag to feed evenly, curing most mystery thread breaks on metallics, monofilaments, and shiny polys.
What's the fastest fix for slipping rulers?
Grip dots — a few adhesive clear dots on the underside anchor any ruler or template to the fabric without obscuring markings. Cheaper than replacing rulers with non-slip versions and renewable when they wear.
