Jedsews Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I have attempted to sew a casing on my leaders, three times now and can't get it right....what's the secret to getting them straight? I have used the side clamps to hold them taut, I have used my channel locks to keep the machine going straight across, and yet, it doesn't happen...I am at my wits end! Would it be unheard of to just pin this casings instead of making myself crazy trying to sew them once again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnBarb Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Go to quiltsonthecorner.com - Renea Haddin has an excellent video of making a casing on the leaders for her Red Snappers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newellyn Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I sewed mine onto my zippers and can just zip on or off if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katydids Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Jackie, I pinned the casing in and then pinned the quilt top leader to the take up leader to hold everything in place, then I stitched the quilt leader seam and then did the take up leader seam. Repeat for the backing leader. I also used the side clamps and channel locks. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitomi Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I sewed it on my zippers too. That way I can remove them. Actually, I was too lazy to take the zippers off,LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Great minds thInk alike. I too sewed them to my zippers. Also have two sets of zippers which still has a quilt on it. So thus way I can rehook and not stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
