Tuesday Technique: The Secret to Perfect Bias Seams - Never Have Wonky Blocks Again
In this informative "Technique Tuesday" video, we join Ivonne in her sewing room as she demonstrates the proper technique for pressing bias seams when creating a snowball quilt block.
The tutorial showcases several useful products including a Fizzy Pop Charm Pack with white-on-white fabric, those inexpensive 0.7mm Bic mechanical pencils (bought in bulk during school sales), and both open toe and quarter-inch sewing machine feet.
Throughout the demonstration, Ivonne shares valuable tips like using "starter and stoppers" while sewing and transforming small fabric scraps into mini half-square triangles instead of discarding them. Most importantly, she reveals the secret to preventing wonky blocks: using the point of your iron and pressing along the straight grain rather than the bias.
This straightforward lesson offers a simple solution for anyone struggling with distorted quilt blocks caused by improperly pressed bias seams.
