Cyclops Jan 2018 1:57pm, 13 Jan 2018 3,309 posts	0 Cyclops It took him a long time but he is not a sewer! Learned how to use the machine and worked systematically and carefully...
EvilPixie Jan 2018 2:00pm, 13 Jan 2018 12,638 posts	0 EvilPixie that's fantastic! It's been suggested that I use stabilzer so going to do this!
Garfield Jan 2018 2:00pm, 13 Jan 2018 8,586 posts	0 Garfield I like that!! Good use of race t-shirts.
EvilPixie Jan 2018 2:01pm, 13 Jan 2018 12,639 posts	0 EvilPixie plus seeing as I some how agreed to enter a quilt at the festival of quilts in august (and my friend won't let me forget it!) I need a quilt ..... the theme is stitch through time so this could double as an entry as they all tend to have dates on them!
EvilPixie Jan 2018 2:01pm, 13 Jan 2018 12,640 posts	0 EvilPixie yeah I know me and my big mouth! guess the technical tops won't be able to be used
Cyclops Jan 2018 2:06pm, 13 Jan 2018 3,310 posts	0 Cyclops I don't think he knew/knows that much about it so he just used the t-shirts he had and sewed them together!! There are cotton and technical tees in there - I know because I recognise the races and the t-shirts they gave.
