Nifty method and a nice bonus in how to spin seams. Thanks so much.😃
@VictoriaPeatLittleBlackDuck4 ай бұрын
Spinning seams is such a small thing that can make quote a big difference. Maybe I'll do a video just on this little technique. Thanks so much for your comment Mary-Jo :-)

Great demo. Good to see how to use the Clapper in patchwork as I only use it in dressmaking. So nice to see and hear you again. Fond memories of watching you on Sewing Quarter
@VictoriaPeatLittleBlackDuck4 ай бұрын
Hi Lorraine! I love using my clapper in P&Q. It really helps take the heat out of the blocks and sets them nice and flat. Especially great when doing FPP as blocks can get rather bulky sometimes. I normally leave the clapper in place a little longer than I have done in the videos though. I figured if I left it as long as I would do normally it would be the patchwork version of watching pain dry!

I'm pleased you like the video Vicki :-) It's not always the right method for the job in hand, but it's such a a great way to make 4-patch blocks and a wonderful technique for patchwork enthusiasts to have in their repertoire!

I think it's so important when you are starting out that your patches turn out how you want them to. With any new skill it's so easy to get disheartened when things don't go as you expect them to!

@VictoriaPeatLittleBlackDuck4 ай бұрын
It definitely makes a difference for me. Give it a try and let me know what you think :-) The iron is from a Spanish supermarket. I had a Prym one for years but it eventually gave in and sadly I couldn't get a new one near where I live. If you can't find a Prym one search online for a travel iron and you might find what you are looking for
