In this month’s NQC LIVE, Heather Thomas answered your questions on everything from pre-washing fabric to layering and basting a quilt. She also discussed ways to fix thread problems such as breakage and ‘eye-lashing’, and ways to both prevent and fix fabric puckering that can happen during quilting. Heather shared her ideas on ways to embellish art quilts, including her new favorite medium to work with – metal.

Regarding what you have said about cutting borders slightly shorter...Do you sew the border on with the pieced quilt on top or with the border on top? Thank you. I have enjoyed re-watching each of these monthly events. You have shared so much valuable information .
Looking to start quilting
I signed up for the news letter but I can't find where I should click to win the iron?
Can I use the right sides and the wrong sides of fabric to the colors come together?

I am a beginner so there I an use any help I can get
I am entering the Smart Iron give away
Have always admired this iron on so many of the video tutorials and even did some research on it. Would love to own one and winning it would be even better!

What iron do you use? I had an a eliso but it died
