I am back to the easy "Running Stitch" and no thinking for watching Downton Abby!!
My Quilt is coming along nicely, don't you think?
I am so proud of myself!
Use 1/4" Quilters Tape.
I am piecing it as per Bernadette's instructions.
The way she does it is so easy!
Tear off a piece of tape to place right along the edge of the fabric you are piecing. You can reuse it a few times too. Then stitch right next to the tape. Wa La....your seams are perfect 1/4" seams!! Actually you are a needles width away from 1/4", so stay close to the tape.
Easy Peasy!!
I am thinking....what a great application for French Hand sewing. The seams on most of my garments are 3/8", so the first stitching in a French Seam is 1/4". Use this tape and the seams are perfect. After you trim, press and put right sides together you will stitch a 1/8" seam. The narrow 1/8" is easy to eyeball.
I love new applications that make it easier.
I followed your lead, and took up some low-concentration-required knitting for watching DA last night. I see Isobel and Violet are back to their amusing sniping, but everything else came as a surprise. I have growing respect for Branson, who always only irritated me before. I look forward to next Sunday with a mixture of dread (for the Season to end) and anticipation.
