Sir Snips’ Daily Snippet
Snug. Not strangled.
When joining basted English Paper Piecing shapes, place them right sides together and align the edges. Take tiny, even stitches that catch only a couple of fabric threads at each folded edge. Pull the thread snug enough to close the seam—but not so tight that it puckers the fabric or bends the papers. Open the pair after stitching and make sure the join lies flat.
A firm handshake, darling. Not a hostage situation. 😉
Do your EPP seams lie flat—or do they occasionally need tension counseling?
