Quilting Basics ~ The Quarter Inch Seam & Pressing Techniques Jacquie from Tallgrass Prairie Studios is back for part two of her Quilting Basics series (with installments every week throughout Quilting Month II!). Part one covered preparing and cutting your fabric. Learn more about Jacquie’s quilting in her Sew,Mama,Sew! Board Member intro and at Tallgrass Prairie Studios. Today’s Quilting Basics focus centers on the quarter inch seam and pressing techniques. Enjoy today’s tips from Jacquie! A Perfect Scant Quarter Inch Seam Quarter inch seams are the standard in quilt piecing. It seems like a few threads less wouldn’t make a difference, but multiply a little bit across the many seams in a quilt and it can become a problem when it’s time to put everything together. The Test Cut two 2” x 4” rectangles. It should measure exactly 3 ½ “ wide. Piecing With an accurate scant ¼ “ seam you’re ready to piece. I use a stitch length of 12 to 15 stitches per inch for piecing. Pressing Don’t you love when your seams lay flat and your block is crisp and square?
