Sir Snips’ Daily Snippet: Patchwork. Not Tug-of-War.

Sir Snips gently supports fabric triangles flat on a cutting mat. Patchwork. Not tug-of-war.

Sir Snips’ Daily Snippet 🦝🪡

It’s patchwork, darling. Not tug-of-war.

Bias edges run diagonally across the fabric’s weave and stretch easily. Handle those edges gently, keep pieces flat, and avoid pulling them while sewing. At the machine, guide the fabric and let the feed dogs move it.

Your triangles signed up for a quilt—not a wrestling match. 😉

Have your triangles ever turned a little wavy?
