Press left, press right
We've all heard the Quilt Police. Press this way; press that. Aim toward
the feed dogs, aim away. Pin before and aft and in the middle. Sew over pins. Don't. I've declared myself an 'expert'. For those of you who don't know, an expert is someone 50 miles away from home with a briefcase. Bringing forward my dress making experience and my heirloom sewing along too - I have decided to ignore the rules and press my quilt piecing/block seams open. Yes. I have. Just in case that would make the seam endings weaker or more prone to come undone, I've set my stitch length a little shorter. Ta-Dah. I've just make a quilt top of something so sweet: Tweetie Bird on bright yellow combined with a batik of Blue Jay blue. Every ... need to HOLLER he corner. Every one of them is pretty perfect. Open pressing just works so much better for me. Conclusion? Let's all go out and break some rules. After all . .. there's a full moon. Polly |
