Snowballing quilt blocks? There's more than one way to do it! In this video, I'm sharing three different approaches to snowballing so you can choose the best method for you. This is an excerpt from my Dilly Dally class, where we start off with five snowball blocks as an intro to this technique. Here's what is covered: • Traditional Method - Draw diagonal lines on your squares, sew on the line, then trim. • Tape Method - Skip the marking and use washi or diagonal seam tape as a guide. • Laser Method - No tape, no marking–line up your square with a laser guide and sew! Each of these techniques gets the job done, but they all have their own advantages. Whether you love the precision of drawing lines, the convenience of tape, or the tech-savvy ease of a laser, there's a method for everyone. ✨ LOVE THIS TUTORIAL?
