Machine Corner: A Quilter's Takeover!
Quilters are the hidden gems of the quilt making process. They can really make your hard work shine! We can help them do their job well. Here are a few tips:
1. Use an acurate 1/4" seam everytime you sew.
2. Trim off stray threads as you make the blocks.
3. Press well. Try to get all seams as flat as possible. It helps to nestle seams!
4. Check your quilt top with an eagle eye- look for holes in the seams and stray threads to trim.
5. Make sure your backing has the required extra inches on all sides. Typically 4" larger than your quilt is a good amount (but consult your quilter).
