Happy December everyone! Today we are working on some last minute gift ideas. This project is a great way to use up fabric scraps and charm squares. Fabric coasters are fun to make, incredibly useful, and can be personalized in unique ways.
I've also provided a free pattern to piece together an adorable tree coaster. Check the OklaRoots website for the pattern, as well as a free SVG file for all you Cricut Maker users!
QUILTING TIP: To avoid the bunching of threads at the beginning of quilt lines follow these viewer provided tips below!
- Use a feeder fabric first. Run a scrap piece of fabric through the machine, and then run your quilt under the needle (don't clip the feeder piece first).
- Hold the top and bobbin threads before you start sewing. To do this, make sure you aren't using an automatic thread cutter (they pull the bobbin thread back under the face plate, making it hard to reach).
Happy Sewing!
