4. When purchasing fabrics from different sources, write in the selvedge edge the name of the source from which you purchased it, in case you need to get more of the same.
5. Before washing fabrics, cut a small piece off each corner. This will prevent ravelling and tell you later if the fabric has been washed or not.
6. To determine the grain of squares after they have been cut, gently stretch the fabric square in each direction. There will be more stretch in the crosswise grain.

About Me
- Ada K. Moyles
- Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
- I am a quilter who enjoys sharing her passion for quilting through her writing and am a member of The Edmonton and District Quilters Guild and the Canadian Association of Quilters. I enjoy both traditional and modern quilting and always enjoy the challenge of something new and different. I've been making quilts for over thirty years, writing about quilting for over twenty and have been published in such magazines as "Quilt World," "Quilting in Wild Rose Country" "Quilter's Connections" and write a regular column for "The Canadian Quilter" called "The Light-hearted Quilter." My book "Crazy About Quilting; Confessions of an Average Quilter" was published by Whitecap Books, Vancouver, BC. I am always interested in hearing and learning from other quilters in Canada and around the world.
