🫣 How To Square Up A Wonky Block
It happens to the best of us...despite all the best measuring, cutting and stitching, some blocks can end up rather wonky at worst, and not square at best. Don't worry though, because there is a way for you to square up these rogue blocks so they look like you always intended them to be.
In this video I've taken you through my thought process and method to square up the wonkiest of blocks. We can work through together: you can see how I square up my student's block in this video, and you should then see how to square up your problem blocks.
Hope it helps!

    Such an informative video. But, there can be instances where the thread - when it's a cheapo or old brand - will cause problems even if you always unthread it by pulling it through the bottom. As I'm sure you know, those threads can have lint on them which will get into your machine even when you unthread it properly. 👍😻❣️😍

  • @2KITTIES-CLRR
    @2KITTIES-CLRR Před 9 dny

    There is at least one more reason why your needle keeps unthreading itself which i have a problem with at times because I forget about it. And, that is this: When you lift up your project to cut the threads, you can sometimes pull it up too much, causing tension to be between your work and the needle. When you cut it loose, that will cause your thread to pull back and come out of the needle almost everytime. Just wanted to letcha know about that. 👍😍❣️😻

    Do you know what stitch width an 1/8 inch would be?

    • @QuiltWithKim
      @QuiltWithKim Před měsícem

      Great question Deanna. I've found that's it more about where you position the fabric under your foot. So, put your stitch width setting to 5.5 to get it to 1/4". Then look at your foot; there should be a metal bit on each side. Look at the *right* hand metal bit/prong. Then line up the edge of the fabric to the inside edge of that metal prong, and that 'should' be 1/8" I use Brother machines and it seems to work on all the Brothers that find a place on my sewing table, but I haven't tried on other brands of machine. So give that a go on a practice piece and then measure the seam allowance. Hopefully it won't be too far off! Do let me know how it goes. Kim.

    For a strechy fabric which number I should use

    • @QuiltWithKim
      @QuiltWithKim Před 2 měsíci

      Great question: you use exactly the same rule for stretchy fabric. The thicker your fabric is, the higher your needle size. However, as a bit of guidance, if you are stitching a basic jersey fabric to make a top or dress, then you're probably looking for a 75/11 or 80/12. What is also important is to make sure you are using 'Stretch' or 'Ballpoint' needles as these are designed for stretch or jersey fabric. Hope that helps.
