Here is a fun time-lapse video I took when I pieced my block (and I do not sew this fast in real life!).
Here’s an overview of what I discussed in the third Greenhouse Garden bonus video featured above.
In this latest video, I’m diving deep into some of my favorite Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) tips.
Ever wondered how to ensure your fabric isn’t short after piecing a section? I’ve got you covered! I revisit a game-changing tip from last month. Be sure to check it out.
But that’s not all! I spill the beans on a technique to handle piecing light fabrics after dark ones. Ever experienced that ghosting effect, where a dark sliver appears near the seam? Fear not! I’ve got a foolproof method to avoid this heartache.
It involves trimming a tad extra off the dark fabric after your 1/4” seam allowance. Then, after you press the seam there won’t be a dark line in sight It’s a game-changer when piecing dark fabrics after light fabrics.
I can’t wait to see your block come together!
Thanks for sewing along with us. I can’t wait to see you next month with more tips and tricks!
