Sewing Log Cabin Blocks, Part 1 of 2 (2:48)
:05 Video opens with Marti piecing the center square and light colored "a" pieces together.
1:27 Clockwise or counter-clockwise, that is the question! The answer is clockwise, if you want your project to match our illustrations.
2:03 The second piece ("b") determines whether you are going clockwise or counter-clockwise.
3:01 An accurate 1/4-inch seam is a must! Both a 1/4-inch presser foot and Aurifil thread will help you get perfect 1/4-inch seams. Sew with the new piece ont he bottom and lead into the needle with the center square, and you will be going clockwise.
Thank you for watching. Go to part 2.
