When we showcased the Ideal Seam Guide last month (oops!- 2 months ago!) for the Notion Commotion Blog Hop, I wondered if I would use it.
I mean, I am a creature of habit and I had been used to doing something else.
I am working on a new project and I needed to sew some strip sets.
My sewing machine had been for a spa day while I was away and she needed a little workout! (She and I did do a little sewing on Sunday- I will show you those blocks tomorrow.) So today I got up and decided to get right to sewing.
I love how I can make a channel between my two guides and just gently hold the fabric strips together and let them slide thru the channel.
I occasionally stopped, needle down, and re-adjusted the strips so they were lined up together and then just went pedal to the metal!
Once I was done with the first group, I re- adjusted where the seam guide was, and then kept going!
So yes, the Ideal Seam Guide was worth it!
A whole pile of strip sets, ready for slicing and dicing – and all before breakfast. Pretty neat!
happy quilting,
Kate
p.s. Does anyone know why you always run out of bobbin right before the end of the last seam?
