QUILTING & TECHNOLOGY WITH HP

Get the Best from Your Scanner

When scanning in photos or objects to printon fabric, it’s important that you set your

scanner to the correct dpi. Dpi means dots per inch. If you look closely at the photograph, you

can see that 75 dpi isn’t a high enough resolu-tion, for a good image. 75 dpi is sufficient, to puton a web page, where it is important to have theimage download quickly. When scanning for printing, you want a minimum of 200, and ide-ally, 300. If you set the dpi higher, you often cre-ate a file that is way too large to handle. ■



What’s New to Do!

Deborah Fugitt, Pfaff Certified Teacher had somegreat tips for preparing T-shirts to make a T-shirt

quilt! Wash shirts before cutting them. When clean anddry, press if necessary.

Place the shirt on arotary cutting mat, andusing a rotary cutterand ruler, cut off asmall strip on the side,and the sleeve. Thencut across the neck.

This will give you afront and back. Don’tworry about the size atthis time. [Figure A]

Sometimes, you may need to “fill in” theneckline. Cut fabric from the sleeve and

place behind the neck ribbing. Sewthrough the neck ribbing and fabric.[Figure B]

Trim away the excess fabric from theneckline area on the back of the block,

using your Havels Appliqué scissors.[Figure C]

Fuse interfacing to each piece. Place a Press clothon the shirt, to protect your iron from residue from thefusible interfacing. Avoid putting your iron on theright side of the T-shirt, as the screen printing processon many shirts will be damaged by the heat. [Figure D]

Decide on the block size. It could be 9”, 12” or 15”. If possible, use a rotary cutting ruler the size of yourblock, such as the Omnigrid 15” square ruler. It makes

cutting out the blocks a

breeze! You could alsomake a template, fromtemplate plastic.

Cut your blocks to size.

You can finish your quiltwith sashing, or just sewthe blocks together.

Deborah had some ideas for making your quilt more interesting.

• Be sure to include the shirt neck with ribbing detail.

• Make a pocket using the neck opening to stash treasures.

• Combine front to back together to create one block.

• Add a part of the shirt with a pocket.

• Use plackets with buttons.

• Add several small designs from the front of shirts to create one

block.

• Create blocks from parts of shirts with no design.

• Create block with Photo transfers, pictures or maps to replace adesign on a shirt that is worn. HP has a project sheet for this ontheir web site, www.hp.com/go/quilting/.

• Embroider designs, messages, names, dates, etc.

• Use patches for events.

• Appliqué smaller designs to thelarger design to keep the shirt

pieces together.

• Add a backing fabric behindFootball jerseys with holes.

• Cut designs out of the t-shirt andadd to a piece of fabric.

• Inset a part of one design intoanother design.

• Include parts of other shirts, cos-tumes, or things that hold fondmemories.

• Add special buttons.

• Use sweatshirts.

• Make pillows out of leftover shirts.
