My sewing tips

Take a moment to pop over to Fi's endlessly useful and informative wesbite, The Sewing Directory to read my top five sewing tips including my magical secret way to get crucial points to meet which I used to make this block (which incidentally I will be teaching an all-new-super-sized and re-drafted version of at the Fat Quarterly London retreat):

  10. Ok, that pin trick is good. I do that, pin the point just like you said but it has never occurred to me to then start there so thank you!

  11. Thanks for those tips Lynne! I use a towel on our kitchen bench to press seams all the time - I found it easier for HST's and geese especially.

  14. Great tips! I think all quilt shops should have a lint roller at the door - I went in one this afternoon and about an hour later I realised I'd been wandering round covered in white threads. And I was wearing a black coat, just to ensure everyone could see them!!
