And it saves a huge amount of thread -- by my calculations perhaps as much 25% of a spool of thread plus there is barely any clean-up of renegade thread tails necessary!

I'm making a postage size scrap quilt with mine, and it's really slow going, mostly because it involves a lot of cutting, and I'm trying not to replicate fabrics too much. But I do enjoy it! And I think yours will turn out fun, woo!audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892548773323584333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573022001485473640.post-68688914541418211322016-12-07T08:22:45.188-05:002016-12-07T08:22:45.188-05:00I love the leader/ender concept and it has changed...I love the leader/ender concept and it has changed how I do everything in my sewing room. I think being organized is the key. I always have a pile of pieces sitting to the right of my machine for one of my leader/enders and always have something under my needle when I start and stop sewing for the day :)Quilter Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870660916547202929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573022001485473640.post-27374072422579979822016-12-06T17:20:50.105-05:002016-12-06T17:20:50.105-05:00Thank you for the link to that project!

Although, I did create a storage system for my scraps, after reading Bonnies post about her process and why she finds it important. I had planned on using the pre-cut squares as L&E but did not. I have been thinking about it a lot lately and after reading your post and a few others, I do believe today is the day to begin. Thank You for sharing your tips, they will help me right away. Have a fantastic creative day!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958077183627536062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573022001485473640.post-21355280697735412952016-12-06T10:44:31.008-05:002016-12-06T10:44:31.008-05:00Great tips and thanks so much for linking up, Alis...Great tips and thanks so much for linking up, Alison. I have yet to really do a L&E project, so I don't have anything I can add. I do like all the tips you have and I am hoping you can save that yardage for backing and binding. :)Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705160384198590025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573022001485473640.post-1612435995122891262016-12-06T09:41:51.209-05:002016-12-06T09:41:51.209-05:00Excellent post!
