We are excited to bring you a series on how to set up a sewing studio! Some quilters have big dedicated sewing studios and others use tables around the house. Both are wonderful ways to make a quilt!

Would you like to make your next quilt irresistibly soft and cuddly? Try a microfiber blanket as quilt backing and you may never go back to regular quilting cotton! The snuggle factor is off the charts making them perfect for any child-related project, couch throws, quilts that will be gifted, and any other quilt you intend to truly use a lot.
