American Patchwork & Quilting Podcast

When we're imagining our dream sewing spaces, we spend a lot of time thinking of what we want our spaces to be. But we also need to consider what we need our spaces to be. In this episode, we're asking questions to dive deeper into your personal sewing style, so you can find storage solutions and set your room up for sewing success! We also share what to do with quilts you no longer want, how to incorporate sustainability into your sewing room, and share tips to stop ruler slip while cutting.
