i use the foot that has a center guide. might be in the ditch foot and a zig zag. works great. Havn't used the tape as it appears to be an added expense when the zig gag works finel.

I don't sew or use the joining tape when I spray baste or when I'm using fusible batt. If you get the pieces butted well without any overlaps, then spray, the fabric you put over it will hold the joins together. it you will not have trouble in the future, with the batting curling up or shifting, especially in the washer or dryer! |
I use largest zigzag...it works great...
|
Butt them and zig zag them together.iI use all of my small pieces this way.R.
|
Never knew that tape existed. Thanks. I always just sewed the pieces together.
|
I zig zag down them together
|
I use this all the time. I hate wasting the pieces. they stay together great once it is put together.
|
I slightly over-lap the pieces, then take your rotary cutter and ruler and make a straight cut thru both over-lapped pieces and you'll get them both perfectly straight to butt up against each other-I then just machine zig-zag them together with a fairly wide and not too close together stitch or it will pucker. Never had a problem doing it this way.
|
Over lap the two pieces about 2". Cut a wavy line down the center of the overlap from top to bottom. Remove the smaller sections of both overlaps and butt the two larger sections together. That way when you sew them together, the joining seam will not form a straight line and will be less noticibeable.
|
Just cut edges even and whip stitch together. Do this all the time when piece is not large enough and I have pieces I can sew together.
