Another topic of the open forum at the Wide Back fabric party at the October Creative Arms meeting was how machine quilters use wide backings.
 |
| Fabric swatches and machine quilted samples of 108" wide backings from Blank Quilting were on display at the Wide Back Fabric Party. |
- borders and bindings
- trimmings from the quilted quilt can be used for bindings and for scrappy quilts
- two baby quilts or small charity quilts can be quilted side-by-side at the same time (long arm quilters)
- quilt 8 placemats side-by-side at the same time (long arm)
- bed skirts and dust ruffles
- table cloths (wouldn't 108" Metallics for the holidays and parties be festive?!)
- duvet covers
- slip covers
- curtains
- dividers and table skirts at trade shows, buffets and business meetings
- back drops for photo shoots and stage performances
- a canopy for birthday parties and other outside events
Below are quilted examples of Blank's 108" fabrics. What other uses have you found for wide backings?
