I think I will have to try your method out though, especially when I am sewing away from home and can't just leave everything laying out on my design bed.

I agree with Leanne in that I tend to sew my rows together first. I do tend to break things up with ironing a lot more; I like to get up and move from design wall to machine to ironing board to design wall. Something about standing in one place for a long time pressing just makes the process more difficult for me.Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705160384198590025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264679873028408512.post-14699962054630282862018-10-24T09:06:28.641-07:002018-10-24T09:06:28.641-07:00Thanks for sharing your methods!

I usually sew two rows at a time, first sewing the first two blocks of each row together, then while the second pair is still under the needle, I clip the thread between the two pairs, add the third block to the first row, clip the thread to free the pair from row 2 and add the third block to that row and sew on. In no time I have those two rows finished and then I move on to rows three and four, etc. I press all of the rows at the end. Then I join the rows into pairs, join the pairs into sets of four and so on until the top is finished. Funny how we get into certain habits to make the process easier, isn't it?Leanne Parsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944797294783593234noreply@blogger.com
