Strip Quilting with Neckties

Strip quilting is a method of sewing together strips of fabric to form a patchwork design. Since neckties are already conveniently shaped into strips, they are great to use for this simple piecing technique. In this video, learn to sew old neckties into a fancy new striped piece of fabric. In the next video, I'll show you how to turn transform it into a one-of-a-kind artistic poncho.
To make this project, you'll need 10-15 neckties, a sewing machine, and everything that goes with it. If you need help preparing neckties for sewing, please watch this video: • How to Get Neckties Re...

Thank you so much Nancy, I really really enjoyed watching you create this unique and unusual piece of fabric, I’m so excited to see the next video. I’ve subscribed and given you a thumbs up too.

Please, what can I do with the Tie Linings? The White Guts I guess you would say. I have made several Neck Tie Quilts and a lot of the innards.

hi Pamela, That's the question of the century, and I'm afraid I am equally befuddled. I've tried dyeing some, but haven't had good luck there. I once made a heavy, kind of odd coat out of necktie linings by strip quilting them into yardage and then using that pieced fabric to create an outer garment. I've also just repurposed some of the softer pieces (and the labels) into bracelets. You can catch that video here: czcams.com/video/xBEAAxbcqyg/video.html
I haven't given up on finding uses for those lining strips. But I also haven't made much progress in solving the puzzle. Do let me know if you bump into any good ideas!! Thanks for watching. :) Nancy

I do not like raw edges will it work as well seaming

[@NancyGamon]

Hi Dyann, That's a great question! You can definitely use traditional seams (or finished French seams) with strip quilting. It will just create a different look and drape to your finished creation. Nancy

Do you need to use lightweight interfacing to stabilize?

[@NancyGamon]

Hi Christine, That might depend on your project - what are you envisioning? I used the neckties to make a lightweight poncho that I wanted to drape loosely on the body, so I did not add any interfacing to the neckties. Nancy

It's my first time making a table runner out of ties

[@NancyGamon]

Wonderful! I hope it turns out great!

[@tammybaker4378]

Please...I can't find where you make the poncho.

[@NancyGamon]

Hi Tammy, Thanks for asking! Here's a link to the poncho video: czcams.com/video/Rl2hxOihPgo/video.html Enjoy! Nancy

[@leannwassom1008]

Where is the video on what to do with the insides of the ties

[@NancyGamon]

You know, I think I only have one so far... a bracelet tutorial that uses the inner padding and the labels: czcams.com/video/xBEAAxbcqyg/video.html
