No more wobbly welts

Article Abstract:

New techniques in setting up welt pockets require a quilter's presser foot and a conventional, 22-mm-wide woven-edge ribbon. The new method reduces openwide pockets, loose-fitting corners and the inconveniences of inverting welts. A visual process of setting up the welt pocket is presented.

Article Abstract:
