How to Make Quilts With Star Fabric

When most people think of star fabric they think of the kind that can be seen on things such as hats, sunglasses, and shirts. Stars are actually a type of decorative fabric and it's used in the same way as normal fabrics are used such as cotton and polyester. This material doesn't just have one use though; it can be used for a lot of different things. Some people like to use star fabric for various projects around the home such as making do-it-yourself space craft designs or even do-it-yourself astrology charts.

When you're using star fabric for either of these kinds of projects, it's important to know how the patterns work so you can sew the fabric right. The first step is to use a marker or pencil to draw the pattern onto your fabric in color. Be sure to leave some room for the actual star to fit into. You'll want to use some dark thread or basting to make the star stand out. Once you've drawn your design on your star fabric, the next step is to lay the fabric over the star and then pick up the center of the fabric and pin it to the star.

You can use one of your scrap fabrics to lay another portion of the pattern onto. After that you will repeat the process for the rest of the stars you want to make. Remember that you will want to use dark-colored thread or batting to make the star fabric stand out. Once you are finished sewing the fabric together, you will have an intricate quilt that looks like it was made especially for a star. You may even find that you have to sew the batting through the fabric or even use a special product to hold it in place.

If you need to make do it yourself astrology charts you can use star fabric for these projects as well. To make a simple one, you will need three 12-inch pieces of white cotton batting, two pieces of pink satin ribbon, and one star fabric piece that measure about one inch by about 4 inches. Once you have all of these items you will be ready to sew them together forming a simple quilt. It is always easier to use three different colors of satin ribbon instead of two so that the color scheme is more consistent throughout the entire quilt.

Once you are finished with one star fabric piece you will need to cut another piece of pink fabric about one inch by three inches and then the two pieces of ribbon should come together into one long strip. The end of this strip should be one inch from the end of the pink fabric. Use a needle and sew the end of the strip into the pink fabric along the long side so that it stays completely even with the rest of the fabric. You will now want to baste the star fabric to the pink fabric making sure that it is basted along the entire length of the fabric. Then you will repeat the steps above for another star fabric piece and another.

There are many other ways to use star fabric when making quilts but the ones I have mentioned in this article will give you an idea of how you can use this type of fabric to your advantage. If you are looking to make quilts that will stand out from the rest, you should consider using star fabric as the main fabric for your quilt. This will help you create a quilt that no one will know is a quilt but everyone will absolutely love.
