Nesting Seams for Patchwork
Nesting seams in quilting is a technique of joining fabric pieces together in a way that allows the seams to interlock, reducing bulk and creating a more seamless appearance. It involves aligning the seam allowances of adjacent fabric pieces in opposite directions, which helps to distribute the bulk evenly and prevent the fabric from shifting. Nesting seams is a useful technique for creating flat and smooth quilt blocks, particularly when working with patchwork designs.
