Instead of pinning (which can shift or pucker your fabric), use a tiny dab of fabric glue to hold that first piece in place. It sets you up for crisp seams and accurate stitching—especially in blocks like the Quarter Log Cabin in a Square.🎥 Watch me stitch it up in this reel! ✨ Beginner-friendly, scrap-happy, and available now in my Pattern Store + Etsy Shop.💬 Comment “LOG” and I’ll DM you the pattern link!#FoundationPaperPiecing #FPPQuiltBlock #GlueBastingTip #QuarterLogCabin #ScrapFriendlySewing #BeginnerQuiltPattern #ModernQuilting #SewingTips #QuiltBlockOfTheDay #ASpoonfulOfSugarDesigns #QuiltyVibes #SewingReel #Quiltspiration #SewingForJoy #FatQuarterFriendly #SewingCommunity #QuiltTutorial #FPPTricks #SewingHack
