TIP: Finding the center

Most if not all charts, patterns, booklets and kits all want you to start stitching in the center of your fabric, but how do you find the center? Its really easy so here we go. First take your fabric and fold in half horizontally. Run a basting stitch along the fold. Then fold the fabric in half vertically and run another basting stitch along that fold. The point where both basting stitches intersect is the center of your fabric.

Thats a very easy method but I usually make it even easier. I fold the fabric in half vertically and horizontally and then open up to see where the fold lines meet. I just eye the center from there and it works just fine. No need to baste and anything that can save me time is just fine with me ; )
