Some tips and housekeeping
This week we are making another Chevron Moss Stitch Section!… This is the 3rd Chevron Section!! And… We are finally joining in those 9 squares!!!
Although the border is a mystery, if you are going to follow along and make that border, the tails for changing colors on both sides don’t need to be woven in.
The project should be 48″ x 72″ when finished and blocked with the designed border.
*When Joining your squares to the 2 chevron sections, you can join any way you like… I used a simple sewing method. (see pic below)
**Make sure you don’t join to tightly. This will slightly pucker as you can see in the photo below, but you will block it to make it nice!
This is the sewing technique I used.
I sewed the squares Right Sides Up for both the squares and sections, starting with the bottom of the squares right to left, then the top of the squares right to left. The stitching was in the back loop of the corresponding square stitch then thru the back loop of the corresponding section stitch, next the back loop of the section corresponding stitch then thru the back loop of the corresponding square stitch and continued across . See the illustration above
You can see in the picture aboe that the sewn in squares slightly pucker… See below after blocking
Let’s get started on Week 6!
First, you will make a 3rd Chevron Section, then you will sew your squares in place. Make sure when joining in the squares your pieces are both right side facing!
