Do you sew fabric strips often? Long, short? I'd love to know how and when you use them and which of these tips you'll try first.

Thank you so much for this video.... I have another tip that was a game changer for me and that is to try your best to sit directly in front of the needle of your machine. In quilting, as I move around with cutting, trimming, ironing, etc. I discovered that each time I came back to my machine, my body would be in a slightly different position and ALWAYS off center of my needle. I wish I could give the gentleman so said this credit, but I don't recall who he is. Now, I make a conscience effort to stop for the nano second it takes to line myself up correctly. As a result, my seams are much straighter, consistently. Thanks again for the video... especially the pressing tips. Sooooooooo important!

Well, I already do all the tips you shared, except sewing the strips in opposite directions. That could be one to try. I do sew using strips frequently, especially for lots of nine patch units.

Let me know if you see a difference sewing from opposite sides since you already do the rest - I'm curious!

I love💗 working with strips. I've sewn 5 together at a time from one end to the other before cutting them into the sizes that I may need. I appreciate the tips. I may have to make more small projects with strips and try these new tips.😄

I line up a straight edge along the sewn seam, make sure the seam is straight, remove the ruler, and then press. I don't use steam untill I have pressed with a dry iron first and am sure the strip set is STRAIGHT!

It makes me crazy with a fabric like gingham, stripe, dots, etc is not even along the edge! That just tells me that they were cut on a slight bias and makes me wonder how much of the rest is cut like that.😊

@@ArtistTaraReed a year or so ago I finally finished a Dresden Plate king size quilt and decided that gingham was the perfect choice for sashing. I had to buy so much extra fabric after I got the sashing cut straight

Thank you. Very helpful. I have only made two quilts. One a baby quilt with a Layer Cake, and a Jelly Roll quilt. My third one, I sewed the top using a jelly roll in a pattern sewing three strips together, and then cut into 6”;squares. Then Ilife got busy and I laid it aside. I am not happy with it because I must have done something wrong, because my three strips aren’t the same width, so obviously I didn’t sew straight. Your video was helpful and hopefully I won’t make the same mistakes again.❤

Thank you for the helpful tips. I was wondering if you have to go slow using the walking foot ? I’ve never used the walking foot piecing a quilt.
@ArtistTaraReed
@ArtistTaraReed 5 ай бұрын
You're very welcome! I don't have to go slowly with my walking foot but I'm not sure if that's the case for all of them. See if your sewing machine has one designed to work it for best results.

You did t address how sewing ver off toward the end of a strip . This causes inconsistent seam Causing a wonky stitch line
@ArtistTaraReed

Do you mean "swerving off" toward the end - if so then yes, another thing to watch for! Thx for the additional tip

I don't like my walking foot. It doesn't draw the fabric through very well. It seems to lag.😢

Well that’s not good! Is there anything that might need to be cleaned in the foot? I think there are some that might need a little tlc but not 100% sure

Would a dual feed work as well as a walking foot, or should I use a walking foot??
@ArtistTaraReed
@ArtistTaraReed 5 ай бұрын
I think a dual feed is from the top and bottom, right? If so it’s doing the same thing so you’d be good to go!
