We decided to go back to a basic concept this week- pressing! Being the opinionated girls that we are, we’re gonna give you our 2 cents on everything from irons to how to press. If you are new-ish to quilting, this is one of those skills that if you work on pressing well, it will become a habit and your end products will be that much better. Even if you’ve been around the horn a few times, pressing is always a good thing to review and improve.
See ya next week!
