Quilting Basics: Chain Sewing and Pressing

Step 2 Continue to sew, from one set of pieces to the next

Don't stop or cut threads as you normally would if you were garment sewing. Don't reverse sewing or stitch in place to secure threads. Just keep right on sewing off the edge of on set of quilt pieces and onto the next set. This is how you "chain" piece. The quilt pieces will be all stitched as a chain and when you are done sewing them you simply snip the 2-3 threads between each set of pieces and then press.
