Most important step with any kind of patchwork is to constantly iron your seams as you go so you get a perfectly flat piece of fabric and all joins lie flat

[@conishkee]

Absolutely!!

I usually stitch everything together and on the inner side i iron the fabric to the sides, and on the front side i use a flattening decorative seam (u have it on Singer machine) it's zigzag +direct stitch together. It awesomely flattens everything and keeps the ends of fabric away from ragging... and makes the final patchwork piece even and flat.

4/29/22: I LOVE working with denim, and you had some good tips here I didn't know about. Thank you, Nicole!

[@the_imp_of_the_perverse3644]

I usually apply starch on the fabric, dry it, iron it and only after that i start cutting and stitching. The fabric is like paper afterwards. I do it with light colours only.

Would pinking the raw edges work too?

[@gailbelisario4456]

Love it Nicole!

[@djjay-kay7636]

But what if you want frayed edges showing?😢

[@ruthgreen7424]

if you get a seam and you want to sew o er I get a hammer and flattern it it works believe me

[@smilesfornicole]

Omg so true! This is something I just adapted recently as well as using a walking foot! Definitely learned more tricks since uploading this video!

[@conishkee]

As in a "thick" seam that your machine may have a hard time getting through it? If so, what GREAT idea.

[@smilesfornicole]

@@conishkee yes exactly! It really helps to flatten the seam before sewing 🙂
