Technical Questions

10. How do I fix uneven seams?
Uneven seams are common for beginners. Make sure you’re using a consistent seam allowance, typically ¼ inch, and press your seams flat with an iron for a polished look.

11. What’s the best way to store quilts?
Store quilts in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid plastic storage bins, as they can trap moisture. Use breathable fabric bags instead.

12. How do I clean a handmade quilt?
Wash your quilt on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Air dry or use a low-heat setting on your dryer. Always check the fabric’s care instructions first.
