If you have to sew many strips together do you sew them all in the same direction or do you sew one way then reverse the direction? Do you use steam to press the strips or just a hot setting? Summer Summer

It doesn't matter which way you sew, as long as you DON'T stretch the fabric out of shape...thats also why a dry iron. Steam might make it warp/stretch....

| one way then the other, unless you have a Pfaff the bottom ALWAYS feed ever so slightly differant than the top, flipping keeps the seams nice and not wavy. |
