Get Straight Seams from End to End When Piecing
Who Knew Sewing Straight Could Be Such a Challenge!
Do you ever find when piecing that your seams start out a bit off (or worse yet, with a bird’s nest), wobble in the middle or don’t match up correctly at the end? Or, do they tend to waver when you’re going over a hump where several seams meet?
If any of these happen for you, you’ll love the following video by Karen Brown from Just Get It Done Quilts.
She does an excellent job of breaking down the three parts of sewing pieces together: beginning, middle and end. Each has its own challenges and Karen’s well-thought-out strategies will help you get straight, even seams all the way across.
Plus, she has an excellent solution for those humps that occur when sewing over several seams, as well as for finicky half-square triangle (HSTs) points. Watch as Karen shares her insights in the video below.

Thank you so much for all the tips for sewing straight . I am often disappointed at how my seams come out. Now I am armed with these wonderful tips so my seams should be straight. Thanks again.
Thank you. I always learn something new from your tips. Today it was about layered headers…I use headers but never layered them. My machine came with plastic headers but plastic slips around. And, today I learned about using the layered header to help adjust as you go from 2 layers to 4, etc. Thanks.
Thank you for these tips. They all make since to the problems I have.
Thanks for the helpful tips…always something new to learn!
