Hi ! I am doing my first quilt. I chose a Flying Geese pattern. I did the flying geese "squares" fairly well. Found out cutting is the most impotant step,next time I will have to try much harder. My problem is sewing the squares together. My machine will not start on the edge. It either bunches up or just stays at the edge. I have a Singer Ingenuity. Is there a secret someone has for my delema. If I can get the hang of quilting better I plan to buy a better machine but no idea what kind yet.
Thank you. |
start sewing on a small scrap then start your block piece before cutting the thread when done with block seam sew on to small scrap before cutting thread
|
Use leaders and enders...that is use a small piece of scrap fabric before you
start sewing and after you finish sewing your block. You will save on thread also as you are not pulling a long length every time. Oops looks like we posted at the same time. LOL |
yep, and I also grab both thread ends and slightly pull as the fabric starts going under the foot.
