Precut strips are more popular than ever, and there are a lot of sewing projects that use them. But sometimes when you're sewing a lot of long strips together, things can start to bow and lose their shape. And the more strips you have, the more things can start to curve at one end. Here's the secret to fixing that problem!

This colorful selvage quilt called "Bright Dawn" is the creation of Karen Bertoli of Torrington, CT. It was exhibited at the Flights and Fantasies Quilt Show. It measures 36" x 36." I like how she incorporated lots of color in this cheerful quilt. Nice job, Karen!
Use starch and your iron to press when you stitch piece.
When you're sewing a lot of long strips together, the pieced unit can develop a curve. Here we share the secret to avoiding that problem!
Let's make a Strata Quilt! Cut strips 1.25" wide from interesting fabrics in your stash. Sew the ends together so you have 55" lengths. Then sew these strips together. Make a block about 6" x 55." Enter your name in the drawing once for each block entered. Helpful tip: After sewing a long seam, press before opening. This "sets the seam" and makes it easy to keep the seam straight when you press it open. Otherwise it can get a little curvy. This quilt was made by readers of the Selvage Blog from all over the world. I finished the quilt, and it now resides in Florida in the home of the drawing winner: the Quilting Violinist. Remember to bring your Bow Tie blocks from February too!
When we cut our UNpaper® Towels, Cloth Wipes and Facial Rounds, we get super long strips of the salvedge edge of or cotton flannel fabric. We have designed upcycled products with this material, like Scrunchies, and now you can play with it too! Also great for gift wrapping! This listing includes approximately 12 strips between 1-2" wide and up to 24' in length. *Not intended for children under 12. Monitor children with fabric strips!
Use the Log Jam technique to create unique and original quilt blocks using scrappy long strips. The strips do not need to be cut straight–the more crooked the better. You also don’t need to follow the 1/4” seam allowance–it can be any size you choose, just make sure it is not too small, or you will end up with seams that will split or pull apart when quilting. Fabric requirements for both versions are included below. Log Jam Finished quilt size approximately 51” x 62” Fabric Requirements: Fabric amounts depend on the width of the fabric strips– and the narrower the strips, the more fabric you will need. Approximate amounts (and these are just guidelines): 2 - 3 yards for a crib size or throw 5 - 6 yards for a twin 9 - 10 yards for a queen 12 - 13 yards for a king Modern Jam Finished size 48” x 66” Fabric Requirements: Solid Fabrics: Scraps equalling approximately 3 yards. Additional Fabric needed: 1 3/4 yards solid white for background in quilt.

Having troubles getting big pieces of fabric cut straight? Here's a full tutorial with pictures on how to cut fabric with it's larger than your cutting mat.
I used the rest of my Momo Wonderland Jelly Roll and the rest of whatever the roll of 1.5" strips is called. I sewed all of the 2.5" strips together, then all of the 1.5" strips together. Then I joined the two long strips along the long edge and proceeded as if doing a standard strip race quilt. Does that even make sense? It would have ended up crazy long and skinny if I had the strips run horizontally, so I stopped when I got to a good size with the strips running vertically.

If you've been reading my blog for a while, or know me at all as a quilter, you know I love scraps. I also love improv quilting. Put them together, and I am in my favorite sewing place. This scrappy, improv strip quilt was sewn up just for fun. I had the idea to play with value and strips again, but in a different way from Partly Cloudy. Instead of short strips used in strip sets, I sewed the strips end to end to create long, narrow columns. And instead of concentrating the darkest values in the center, I put them at the top and the bottom of the quilt. The lighter strips in the middle become the focus of the quilt. The varying lengths of the lighter strips makes the design dynamic. I like how the quilt moves from pink to orange to yellow as well. These bright, warm colors just scream summer to me. While I was playing with my scrappy strips, I sewed up a few improv log cabin blocks. They never get old! I used three of my favorite on the back of the quilt. The quilt finishes at 58" x 71" and it just the right size for napping or picnicking or napping at a picnic. I think it would be sweet in a girl's room at the end of a bed too. The quilt is listed in my etsy shop. SOLD

Made of hard maple, this BEGINNER'S WEAVING LOOM comes fully assembled with a pre-warped heddle. A basic project is started on the loom, and is ready for weaving. We include enough "warp" to weave a 3 - 4 foot long strip of fabric, and enough "weft" to see how the loom works. To complete the starter project, the weaver will need to provide their own "weft" yarn, which can be almost anything (including yarn left over from other projects). The loom's instructions move through how to weave the rest of the project, then go step-by-step through planning and starting another project. Weaving can be started as soon as the loom is out of its box, just remember you will need to add your own yarn to continue weaving! Weave projects up to 10" wide X 3 yards long. The assembled loom measures 12" wide X 21-1/2" long, and comes with one shuttle. The started project uses a 4" wide (8 dent) heddle for a narrow band of fabric. A 10" wide (10 dent) heddle is included. Weight 4 lbs. Adult Assembly Required. Recommended age: 13+ years The loom is hand crafted by Beka Inc. in Saint Paul, Minnesota from sustainably sourced hard maple wood.
