Partial Seams Block

While partial seams in quilting may seem intimidating, learning how to master them is quick and easy–Kelly Ashton shows you how! Kelly begins by showing an example block that requires partial seams in order to construct it. She shows how to know if a partial seam is required by laying out the pieces that make up the block and looking at how they come together.

Pressing Quilt Blocks

The ultimate goal in patchwork and quilting is to create a “flat” product with parallel outer edges. There are, of course, exceptions to this rule when making art quilts and table runners with unusual angled edges. That being said, there are a few places that can cause distortion, when pressing blocks and pressing seams within blocks we can without realizing cause this issue. Join Kelly Ashton as she presents techniques and tips on pressing quilt blocks with precision.
