Technique: swirling seams video tutorial

Swirling seams - Eleanor Burns

Swirling seams is a technique Eleanor Burns popularised, which has gained considerable attention among quilting enthusiasts.

It’s a simple yet effective way to reduce bulky seams, allowing for a flatter finish that enhances the overall appearance of the quilt.

By skillfully swirling the seams, quilters can still press the seams to the side, achieving not only a seamless look but also better interlocking of fabric layers.

This method not only improves the aesthetic quality of the quilt but also contributes to its durability, making it a valuable technique for both novice and experienced quilters aiming for precision and beauty in their projects.
