How to Mark a Placemat Backing

Video Transcript

I'm Shelly Cordsen here with Expert Village. We are working on our personality placemats. ah. we just finished showing you how to do the flip and sew method and this is the finished one also, using scraps and as you can see it's quilted already as you went but now we are going to use a solid piece of backing and I'm going to show you how to mark it so you can quilt it , so here is the backing a solid piece 13 by 19 is what I'm using for my size .We have our backing 13 by 19 and here is our top we colored this we should make sure we have it going the right way , nope, so here we go, and again your kind of pin down just kind of make your sandwich you have your right side here and your right we are going to pin down the 4 corners, you can use a spray adhesive it's called spray basting if you wanted to , but on a small project like this I don't think it's necessary, just a couple of pins now we just need to mark some lines and what you can do is free hand machine quilt, you can take your sewing matching and just quilt around here, but some where you really want to stabilize this a little bit more make it more secured sandwich. So I like to just do vertical lines like I did in this one and you can see the lines I sewed here on this particular one. I decided to sew around here and around our picture which you can see on the back, so it doesn't have to be lines all the way through it just kind of a matter of preference.
