Do you press your seams open on your quilt blocks or to one side? This is a Great Quilting Debate that I get asked about almost daily in comments and via email. In this episode I share why I believe pressing seams open is better than to one side, but also why many quilters believe the opposite is a better method.

I also share lots of sneak peeks and details about my new book which will be available for preorder on November 1st! Find the show notes, plus many more podcast episodes at LeahDay.com/podcast

Laser Cutting Fun! Quilting Podcast #147

We're catching up this week on news around the house in our new Teahouse! We've just had a Teahouse gazebo installed in the front yard and the biggest challenge will be never wanting to leave it.

Betty is doing great, almost crawling and loving the sound of her voice (sorry if it got a bit loud!)

I share some projects in the pipe as well as a bit of secret sewing / quilting and news about our new Circle Template Set:  https://leahday.com/products/circle-template-set
