Whoever made up the phrase, ‘I can’t sew a straight line,’ makes it sound easy. On the contrary, sewing a straight line is one of the hardest things to master. I’ve been sewing for too many years to count. When I’m having a bad day, I can’t sew straight either!
That’s why I’m so glad many tools (and a few tricks) are available to make it much easier to sew straight. Let’s face it: sewing straight seam lines, topstitching, edge stitching, and sometimes quilting can make your project look more professional.
