Happy Thursday! Today I’m sharing a quilting quick tip for you! Whenever I post a video, I am always asked about the “tape” on my machine. Well, today I’m showing you what it is, why I love it, and how to use it!
In this video, I am using Cluck Cluck Sew Diagonal Seam tape, but you can use washi tape or even masking tape! Of course, they don’t have those handy 1/4″ lines on them, but in a pinch, they’ll do!
Diagonal Seam Tape is great for saving you time and helping the accuracy of your blocks. Instead of drawing diagonal lines on your pieces, simply use the seam tape to mark where you need to sew. You simply line up the red line on the tape with your needle. The other two black lines are 1/4″ away from the center line. This means you can use any of the lines on the tape to help align your fabric. If you. need to sew a diagonal line, corner to corner, simply line up the corner points with the red line on the tape and sew! If you need to sew 1/4″ away from the center line or a side of your fabric, line up the fabric with either of the two outer black lines.
This is a huge time-saver in my sewing space, and I wouldn’t want to sew without it!
So buckle in, and let’s learn all about Diagonal Seam Tape!
Thanks. Loved the tips.
