I'm out in the Crafty Cottage this week, finally clearing it of clutter two years after our basement renovation. Watch time lapses of the process as I take apart the home sewing machine setup and move it to a new corner and build a Hoop Frame Pro as well.

146. Catching Up with Leah and Betty Day Mar 15, 2022

Show notes

We're catching up this week on news around the house in our new Teahouse! We've just had a Teahouse gazebo installed in the front yard and the biggest challenge will be never wanting to leave it.
Betty is doing great, almost crawling and loving the sound of her voice (sorry if it got a bit loud!)
I share some projects in the pipe as well as a bit of secret sewing / quilting and news about our new Circle Template Set: https://leahday.com/products/circle-template-set

145. I'm Changing the Way I Press Seams Feb 01, 2022

Show notes

Yes, I'm changing the way I press seams! Since I began quilting in 2005, I've pressed seams open, mostly because it reduced bulk, made my blocks more accurate, and tended to be what I did when sewing garments.
But now when I plan to longarm quilt my quilt top, AND I plan to stitch right in the ditch, I'm pressing seams to one side. The only reason I'm changing this technique after 16 years of quilting is because I noticed that combination - longarm quilting and ditching - to be a problem for my pressed-open seams.
