Today’s quick tip is from Heather, who blogs at Fiberosity. In addition to being a wealth of knowledge when it comes to sergers, Heather creates beautiful modern quilts.
Two pieces of “pattern” right sides up, as they would go together
Fold the piece that will go on top under about 1/4″ – 3/8″ (the green one here):
Lay just barely over the top of the bottom layer, raw edges meeting on the bottom and stitch:
Back side:
You can get the same type of results by stitching right sides together, pressing seam allowances to one side then coverhemming, but this is much faster and the way it’s basically done in the factory….with some modifications.
Thanks so much to Heather for sharing this quick tip with Sewing Mamas!
Happy Sewing!
