Motion Quilting Post Card
For
those that are interested in making postcards from their FMQ samples I will try
to show you how easy it is to do. Here is my sample I am going to use.
This was my Tiles sample from July that AngelaWalters taught at Sew Cal Gal.
Next I rough cut my piece to about 4 ½” x 6 ½”
Also cut a piece of muslin and with
my stiff inside (I am using Floriani Stitch and Shape double side fusible) I
have used a heavy interfacing and steam a seam in the past.
Next, I ironed my muslin
to the back of the stabilizer
and my sample to the front side.
Then I trim my
post card to 4” x 6”
Next I satin stitched around the edge with a
narrow stitch.
I then stitch around it again once or twice with a wider satin
stitch. It doesn’t have to be done this way. It is just how I do it.
I then do
any final details.
And then finish the back.
A few more post cards I have made.

Thank you for this tutorial - I was wondering how they were done! Does the postage stay affixed to the muslin or do they need to be ink-stamped postage at the post office? Seems like any kind of paper/glue back postage would come off easily in the mail?
I Use Self Stick Stamps OR The Post OfficE Affixes A Printed Postage Label. So Far No ProBlems With The Postage Coming Off.
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

Tutorial was great, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the information. I had not heard of Floriani before. I have my little quilt top ready to go and now need to assemble. Heading to the quilt shop and Walmart to see if I can find the needed item/items!!! Have a lovely Mother's Day :^)
I love this idea of recycling, Now I need to learn free motion quilting so I will have some new scraps!
I have a new blog on fabric postcards too!
