Sewing Machine Mat Pattern
For the “Back to the Basic” video series, we are making a sewing machine mat together. A new part to the pattern will be dropped each month. The most important part of the pattern is to have fun!
Four videos have been dropped for this series, so far: “Prepping Your Fabric,” “Squaring & Cutting Fabric in Quilting!,” “Back to the Basics with the 1/4” Seam!,” “Back to the Basics-Piecing our Sewing Machine Mat!!,” and “Back to the Basics-Quilting our Project!” Each video offers information and tips for a successful piecing journey!
HAPPY QUILTING!!
