Tips for Pressing Strip Sets so They Don’t Curve
| August 20, 2018 | Quilting How-To
Keep Them Straight and Square!
Strip sets are used in so many quilt patterns, and for good reason. They save a lot of time while piecing and work beautifully with jelly roll strips.
Once you’ve checked your seam allowance and have sewn the strips to the correct width, pressing them incorrectly can throw off your careful stitching. It’s easy to introduce curves and to end up with strip sets that aren’t straight and square.
Sherri from A Quilting Life has created a short video to show you how curves happen while pressing and what to do to prevent them.
The video can also be found here.
You’ll find additional tips for producing straight and accurate strip sets in our “How to Make Flawless Blocks from Strip Sets” article located here.
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
