Make a Simple Ironing Board

From The Quilt Ladies 2014

I saw this ironing table on Pinterest, my Pinterest page if you’d like to follow me HERE It was very easy !

I purchased a 9.00 wooden TV tray

Took batting, the kind that is used for hot pads, I used 2 layers and an old bath towel folded in half, but you could use just about anything for your top.

how to make an iron board from a tv tray

The tray was VERY hard and Husband helped me stable it all around the outside edge. I have changed the towel a few times and even tried a silver press cloth, all I know, I press more and blocks look better !

Making Quilt Triangles – My How To

Move it Over Monday from The Quilt Ladies

After learning to make a square, the next step is the triangle. Just like the square if you are not ready to purchase a rotary cutter and mat. You will need to make a freezer paper pattern. How I do my Square’s
This post may contain affiliate links. I will receive a few cents if you click to their site and purchase

Take the FINISHED size of the square you want and add 7/8 of an inch.
example:
for a finished size 2 inch square you will cut your fabric 2 7/8″ x 2 7/8″
for a finished size 3 inch square you will cut your fabric 3 7/8″ x 3 7/8″
for a finished size 4 inch square you will cut your fabric 4 7/8″ x 4 7/8″

And so on, either make you freezer paper pattern or up with a rotary cutter and ruler.

I’ve used a 3 inch FINISHED Square cut 3 7/8″ x 3 7/8″A light and a dark.

Quilters Triangles, How To Make with Seven, Eighth Inch Squares

On the Wrong side of the light fabric draw a line from corner to corner.

This is the cutting line NOT sewing line

On your sewing machine sew a straight seam, 1/4″ from the line.

Turn and do the same thing on the other side.

(when I have many to sew, I do chain piecing, one right after another, not stopping the machine until all finished and then turn and do the other side) If NEW do them one at a time.

Cut on the drawn Cutting line.

You have 2 triangles

Open them up and 2 triangles

Press your seam to the dark fabric and trim the end tail off.

This is your finished triangle

GIVE IT A TRY…. IT’S NOT HARD.

I recently posted a block on Facebook and there was a lot of take about points.

Here’s how I do it.

Pieced together a triangle to a block

Added this as a strip to another piece. Pin as much as you need, check as you pin to make sure

you have the 1/4 seam allowance.

On this seam I had to move the needle in just 2 threads to make the point perfect.

Press the fabric

The point.
