Ok...another silly question. I pin the fabric together, but the top fabric still bunches when I sew it....how do I avoid that?

@alandacraft

6 жыл бұрын

Using a walking foot will help with bunching. You could also try reducing your tension slightly, test on a practice sample and see how that goes. You can also use a basting spray such as 505 between the layers, and pin the layers securely, this will help hold the layers in place.

awesome! thanks.

Silly question, but when you are sewing the squares together in the begining, do you back stich the ends?

@alandacraft

6 жыл бұрын

Not a silly question at all Robin. It's not really necessary to backstitch as the pieced seams will be caught up or intersect with another seam that keeps everything together. Start and stop your stitching a couple of stitches beyond the end of the square. Chain piecing also helps with this. You can also use a smaller stitch to start and end. But to answer your question - no I don't backstitch.

@deligirl5657

Alanda Craft , thank you so much for replying. I recently made your tote, I love how easy you make everything. I was always taught to back stitch, now I understand why you don't need to. Keep the videos coming, I love them!
