Hi, I was trying to make a simple baby blanket the other day that has a pieced top made of charm squares. I didn't want any border or binding, so I just used a backing fabric and batting, sewed the 3 layers together, turned it and was planning on topstitching around. Even though I pinned and used a walking foot, the layers didn't sew up evenly, now one side is a little longer, and the whole thing is a little out of shape. Is there any trick to getting all the sides sewn evenly?
Thanks! |
i have the same problem
|
That's one reason why I prefer to bind the usual way.
|
You did everything I was going to suggest.
|
And here I thought this would be such a time saver! But I have seen blankets made that way that looked nice, so I'm hoping someone will still share their secret with us!

Did you use a walking foot. I had that problem and a friend said use the walking foot. It worked for me. Good luck.
|
Yes the walking foot does solve the problem. Learned this the hard way to.

Were all three layers the same size and squared up after you layered and before you stitched before turning?
