Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month creative journey with Becky Goldsmith as we bring you "Sizzle," a stunning quilt designed especially for TQS.
Each month we will provide photos, detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, and full-size patterns. Becky has also created a selection of "how-to" videos to guide you along the way.
Let's use this Topic "Sizzle Show and Tell" as a place to show off your beautiful Sizzle Blocks. That way, you know where to come to see what everyone is doing.
The topics that apply to each month are a good place to ask questions or make suggestions for each block.
AND when you post your photos to Social Media, like Instagram, Facebook, etc., use either of these hash tags so everyone there will be able to find our wonderful work:
Casciamom, you could use freezer paper and remove it after you cut out the seam allowance bulk on the back. It will come out easily if you don't stitch with really long stitches for the machine applique.
Casciamom, Are you referring to the circles in the Sizzle block? I have used sulky light weight tear away. I trace the circle finished sized on the tear away. I cut it out.
I glue it to the wrong side of the fabric. I cut out the fabric, leaving about a 1/4 inch seam allowance. I put glue around the edge of the stabilizer and turn the seam
allowance and heat set. Then I use my stiletto to score the stabilizer paper at the edge of seam and rip the stabilizer out. The only stabilizer left in the quilt is under the
seam allowance and that has never been a problem in any of my quilts where I have used this method. HelenW

I do not have wash away interfacing. Can I use something else? If the stabilizer I use is lightweight can't it just be left in without a problem? Thanks
