Curved seams can feel a little intimidating at first, but they are so rewarding once you get the hang of them, and hand piecing makes them wonderfully approachable. In this lovely video from Jayne Stitches, she shows you how to hand piece the curved seams of the classic Apple Core block, with a calm and gentle approach that takes all the worry away.
Here is why this one is worth a watch:
- It makes curves feel easy. Hand piecing gives you lovely control, so those curved seams become a joy rather than a challenge.
- It is beautifully relaxing. Hand stitching is such a soothing, portable way to quilt, perfect for cosy evenings or time away from the machine.
- The Apple Core is a timeless design. This charming block has a gentle, flowing look that never goes out of style.
