Sewing Perfect 1/4"
Really want “scant” – so just a bit less than ¼ - the
thicker your sewing thread, the more scant you need it to be because of the
extra space it will take when pressing.
Quiltville Technique:
McCall’s Quilting:
Tip 1
Check your sewing machine feet – You may already have a ¼
foot. If not, purchasing a 3rd party foot that fits your machine
could be a wise purchase!
Tip 2
Put down a length of tape so it gives you a longer runway!
Tip 3
Tack down a stack of post its – gives you a ridge to go
along
Tip 4
Test your project fabric and thread – things change! Testing
now will save you tons of time and frustration when making your blocks!
Tip 5 - does your piecing kinda slide and you get crooked sewing? Adjust your pressor foot pressure! Check your machine manual on how to do it. (I remembered I had loosened mine quite awhile back and never tightened when I returned to piecing!)
