Star of Bethlehem quilt
I started this quilt which has a gazillion pieces and its all y-seams. I thought that I would be able to do this with just careful piecing. I usually do this type of piecing by hand, but my old hands dont work like they use to, so Im doing it on the machine. I am having a problem with bulk at the ends. Could anyone suggest a source for doing this type of piecing? For the secret? in pressing the seams(which way or does it matter?) I dont really want to put it away, I have to much invested in it.
Any advice would be appreciated |
not sure if this would help, as I havent looked at it
http://www.hgtv.com/simply-quilts/st...hem/index.html also have you tried pressing the seam open to minimise bulk? Good luck with it, I'm sure it will be stunning when done. |
Pressing the seams open is your best bet. I've heard smashing with a hammer helps in getting those stubborn seams to play nicely as well.
|
I always press y seams open, and trim as much as possible to reduce bulk, but I love the idea of a hammer.

Thanks for the information. I press some of the seams open but it doesnt seem viable for all of the seams?
