look, mum, no pins

Just a short post today – I’ve finally managed to get into my sewing room this week!

Piecing curves is apparently one of those things that quilters avoid.

I have a very good teacher but she likes pins – lots of them. She also clips the concave curves.

Today, I found two videos on YouTube about piecing curves without the use of pins.

 

I tried the first way but the second way works better for me – except I press towards the quarter circle.

Have to go – I have more curves to piece! See you next Tuesday.

  1. Very nice! I use few-to-none pins also! Are you making the drunkard's path block? It's on my list of dies to buy for Accuquilt!

  2. I use as few pins as possible as I find the pins get in the way. I must make a drunkard's path block quilt at some point in the future.
