As quilters, we pour our heart and soul into every stitch. So why do we insist on using that tiny 1/4 inch seam? Because it’s not just about the perfect fit, it’s about respecting the artistry of our craft. It’s about preserving the legacy of those who came before us and passing on a tradition that’s built on precision, patience, and pride.
When we sew, we often take shortcuts. We skip steps, making our lives easier. But what happens if we skip the crucial step of backstitching? I learned the hard way. My beautifully crafted garment suddenly opened at the seams, and my heart broke along with it. The time, effort, and money invested were all for naught. Don’t make the same mistake I did – always backstitch.
