About Audrey Zohner
Expertise
I am an expert rag quilter. I have made over 100 rag quilts and would love to assist others with questions and methods. I don't know much about actual quilting like machine or hand quilting or applique. I am, however, the resident expert on rag quilting in my town. If you want to make a rag quilt, I am your woman.

Experience
I have been sewing for 12 years and rag quilting for 4. I have experienced just about every pitfall there is in rag quilting. Check out my quilts at audreysragquilts.etsy.com.

Subject: tieing the no sew quilts

Question
when i tie my quilt i am pleased with the side with the side where the material doesn't stretch but when i do the side where the material does stretch i don't really like the way it looks. is there a solution for this?? thanks connie

Answer
Hi,

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you.  I always cut the stretchy sides about a 1/2" wider than the non stretchy.  I am also very gentle when I tie my knot, so the material doesn't stretch as badly.  This is a common problem and I hope this advice helps.  Have a great day!
