Today I'll be working on a scrappy quilt top made of triangles that were donated to the quilt guild scrap bin. I had enough to make a layout that I liked but wasn't sure how to finish the edges. After looking at it for a while on the design wall I just couldn't chop off the diamond sides. So I decided to fold the edges of the triangles, and hand appliqued the sides onto a strip of muslin.
What are you stitching by hand today?

There is a product called a "hot ruler" by Clover I think... that you can fold the fabric over and press it and measure the amount you are folding over... I think this would work for you :) Cheaper and more versatile than the folding pen to me. Thanks for the link up... will link up later on :D

I like your idea to applique the triangle edges to muslin. That's a pretty scrappy quilt.
Never heard of a fabric folding pen! But I think your idea for the edges sounds good. Look forward to seeing it.
I have never heard of or seen this product but then I am rarely in the quilt shops not having one near by but I hadn't see it on line either
Lovely shot of the moon, pretty scrappy triangles. My friend sent me the folding pen seemed a bit of a misnomer unless it actual folds the fabric along as you go, LOL then I watched a video and what I do like about the pen is it's able to remove those pesky fabric folds from fabric you may have had stored for some time.
I'll be starting an embroidery today, as my knee has me sidelined for a bit.
I'm completely taken with the idea of a pen fabric folding device. Never heard of it and happy to learn of something new. Meanwhile, I love those scrappy triangles. Aren't they pretty!
I don't think I would buy that product. Another idea, as I know you like your Hera marker.... you could lay your ruler along where the fold line will be and score it with the Hera to make a nice fold line.
Never heard of that fabric folding pen. Love what you have done with the triangle leftovers!
I've not heard of a fabric folding pen. Very strange.....But you had a great idea for the edges! It will be phenomenal! Again, thank you for hosting and sharing such a fantastic link up! I always leave inspired and wishing for more hours in the day.
I have never seen that product. I'm always excited to play with new gadgets in the sewing room or the kitchen. I love the triangle layout you chose.
