Whether you’re new to quilting or just want to make some fun home décor, join Heather Valentine from The Sewing Loft for this Modern Placemat Tutorial. She’ll review the basics of cutting and laying out your design before sewing. She’ll also show you how easy it is to get a perfect seam using the ¼” quilting foot with guide on your Baby Lock machine. In this class, Heather uses the Baby Lock Rachel, but this project is great with any sewing machine.
I love how this placemat looks, but I found it very difficult to make because she gives no measurements, not for the length of the strips, not for the number of strips needed, not for the size of the batting, not for the size of the solid colour pieces. Also, the angle of the camera distorts the picture, making it seem much wider than it in fact is. An overhead shot would have heped.
