You explain each step so clearly and simple. Great demonstration. Your camera focus is the best I have seen for sewing demonstrations .very clear. Loveing job thanks 👍😁💞
Thank you for your comment my description has been updated with the following Seminole patchwork, referred Seminole and Miccosukee women as Taweekaache (design in the Mikasuki language)a patchwork style made from piecing colorful strips of fabric in horizontal bands. Seminole patchwork garments are often trimmed with rick rack border. Early examples of this technique are known from photographs in the 1910s, and its use by Seminole women in garment construction began to flourish in the 1920s. Seminole patchwork has historically been an important source of income for many Seminole women, and today remains a source of cultural pride. ( text taken from wikipedia)
I gotta try this....its a Lovely border....I learn so much from you! ....Learned how to use my Mid Arm Tiarra from You....Glad to see you are still sewing....Its Good Therapy! 💕💓💕 Sheila
Thank you for teaching this technique. However: I don’t generally correct posts on FB, etc, but since you’re posting a tutorial, it should be noted that the correct spelling for this item is “border”, it “borders “ the quilt. A “boarder” rents a room in your house,gets on a bus, or rides a board.
I have made this. And applied it onto a cushion cover. A nother Fabulous project and in my colours that fit in my decor. Thank you. You are an amazing teacher 👍😁
Hello! Watching Kris from Sew the Distance today, showed as an antique four patch quilt with a Seminole border. I did not know what that was. Thank you for providing the history and your tutorial. Lovely yellow print. Marion in Oregon. Jan. 12, 2024.
Love this! What is the width of this strip after it is attached to the quilt (eg minus the seam allowance)? I have a panel I wanted to put a border on and this seems perfect for that. Thank you!
It's 2 1/2" as is. So taking off your seam allowance it will end up being a 2 inch boarder. Thank you so much for commenting it helps my channel so much.
Thanks very much! If I wanted to make it wider, being that I’m mathematically challenged 😂, I assume if I doubled the strip sizes, it would give me a four inch border? Eg the outer strips 4 inches each and the middle strip fabric 3 inches. Forgive the simplicity of this math question!! 😂
