Stripology Secrets, Sew Ezi Tips and Mastering that 1/4 inch Seam
5/30/20261 hr 4 min
We really covered it all in this session! We kicked things off by troubleshooting our tech hurdles, from microphone placement to pesky cords, ensuring our audio is crisp for the listeners. Then, we dove deep into the magic of the Stripology ruler, sharing our best tips for stack and whack designs, panel mashups, and the secrets to perfectly pinned hexagons. It was a true deep dive into making our quilting process as efficient and fun as possible.
Beyond the fabric, we shared some essential gear finds, like those life-saving vibration pads for the Juki and the tools that help us nail that elusive quarter-inch seam every time. We even found a moment to chat about local fun, like the big grand opening at the Blue Whale in Catoosa. You're going to LOVE this episode full of fun tips!
