This fresh perspective can reveal any areas that might feel too heavy in one color or pattern, helping you to achieve a balanced look. •Snap a Photo: A quick photo of your layout can help you see the overall composition and identify any problem spots. Adjust as needed until you're happy with the final look!#tanglequilt #stashworkqal #southerncharmquiltsMachine from @jukihomesewingSewing cabinet from @arrowsewingSnips from @havels_sewing

Pressing for #tanglequilt When I take the time t Pressing for #tanglequilt When I take the time to set my seams before pressing, I get better results for my blocks, especially when it comes to strip piecing.
