Thoughtfully Pressing your quilt seam allowances
Channel: Epida Studio
Date: 2022-05-23

Quilters often have strong feelings about how to press their seams. Some people are very aggressive or defensive about doing things the "right" way.

Thoughtful pressing moves away from giving rules to follow and instead gives guidelines to help you decide what to do in the situation you have in front of you.
