On Ringo Lake -- Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt 2017-18
#501
So just what are the FB folks barking about? I think that spinning seams is the best thing for me since I found a scant 1/4" foot for my vintage Singers. I made a topper last week and while quilting it with my rulers I ran into some joints that were pretty thick. Spinning those seams would have made quilting easier. Lucky for me, my Singers go through anything I throw at them.

That people would dare do something different then how Bonnie says it IS to be done, mostly. How spinning seams is ONLY for 4 patches, can't be done for any other type of seaming. Giving angry faces to anyone who answers a question about spinning seams, especially if you post a picture that shows it done. That kind of stuff.

Kassaundra, I can only shake my head at those self appointed quilt police. Then I just have to laugh and wonder what their reaction would be if they found out that there are people who press their seams open, which, btw, is how I press my seams. Well, I still need to finish my turquoise strips, but I have started to put my 9 - patches together ....... and my seams are all pressed open ..... lol.

IKR!!! I don't press open as a rule, but do it whenever it works best. I do a lot of blocks that have 40+ pieces in them pressing open is the only way to keep sane sometimes.

Sync, I pressed my seams open too. Earlier this year, i worked on the "Summer Picnic" a weekly quilt a long on the board with so many of these 9 patches, I swore I would never make these tiny guys again. So hard to make accurate. But here I am again. These colors are so bright, it is a nice change for me. The biggest challenge is trying to use just my stash and strip storage container. Yours look so scrappy and bright. Thanks for the pics...... Jane
