Quilting Techniques: Piecing, Binding, Quilted Coats & More | Stitch Lab Episode 3
|Sponsored| Join Stitch Lab, episode 3, for essential quilting techniques, inspiration and lively sewing discussion! There’s so much you can do with quilting beyond making quilts. Create cool quilted coats, scrappy pieced garments, textural bags and more.
With guidance from quilt lover and Quilt + Tell Podcast host Ginger Sheehy Tatic, we’ll talk seam allowance and piecing, batting and binding, and a variety of beginner-friendly quilting stitches. Then we’ll head to the lab and tools and techniques.
Follow along as Amanda, Kate and Ginger discuss:
- Basic piecing and scrap busting
- Quilting tools and materials (many are the same for garment sewing!)
- 1/4” seam allowance and nesting seams
- Piecing with the straight stitch foot
- Stitch in the ditch quilting with the walking foot
- Creating mitered corners
