Hi, I m making a wallhanging that uses both cotton and linen fabrics. Does anyone have advice on what seam alowance would be best as the linen does unravel a bit? Also any hints on what batting and quilting thread is best to use. Thanks Janmcf -
Cindy Needham is the expert for using linen in quilts, she is the guest in one of the early shows (series 2?)
as for seam allowances I would go up to either 3/8" or if it is particularly good at throwing itself undone 1/2". Starching it may help prevent it from unravelling too, whilst you work on it. -
HI Rosemary,
Thank you for your response. I will try out the half inch and see if the fabric responds. Also, I hd not thought of using starch. This will make the fabric easier to handle. Regards JanComment

I made a Chuppa (Canopy)for my daughters wedding and used linen and silk duponi. I serged off all the edges and starched to stabilize both the the linen and silk. I did not have any problems. Hope this helps. PattiComment

Hi Patti,
It looks as though starching is the way to go. I will give it a try.
