Quilters Trading Cards - QTC

How to make Quilters Trading Cards

by Sewing365.com

Quilters Trading Cards (QTC)- the only firm rule for making the cards is the size. After that you can construct and embellish them any way you like. I have found the best two ways to make the QTC are the following: Cut a piece of (or several to make multiple cards) fast-2-fuse 3 1/2" X 2 1/2". With an iron fuse a piece of fabric or collection of fabric to one side of the fast-2-fuse base. Embellish. When you are finished making the top of the QTC they you can fuse a fabric to the back. With your sewing machine zig zag stitch the edges. Second, cut a piece of quilters batting 3 1/2" wide by how many cards you want to make. Sew the top of the card as above. Then finish the back by adding a piece of fabric and hand stitching the edges.

Quilters trading cards are 3 1/2" X 2 1/2" and are made from fabric. They can be hand sewn or sewn with a machine.
